From the Secretary-Treasurer



I was excited by the fine turnout at our biennial fallmeeting at Point

Loma Nazarene University in San Diego andthe enthusiasm manifested

there. Especially gratifying wasthe prominent role played by our younger

members and the goodly number of finepapers they presented. More and

more of us who helped launch the CFH some three decades agoare fading

into the background, and it encouraging to see our newgeneration assuming

the mantle of leadership.
