THANK YOUs
WELCOMES
FAREWELL to Kevin
Walter, who, since
our first issue in
March 1999, has been an
editorial research hand,
our desktop production
man, production manager,
and a faithful supporter
of the Lowdown. Kevin
is now Publisher of our
friend The Washington
Spectator newsletter,
where we wish him well.
AND FAREWELL TO
Jacqueline Gentile, who
has managed the business
affairs of the Lowdown for
most of its wonderfully
successful life to date.
Jacqui is continuing her
work as a subscription
database maven, as well
as her political work on
several fronts.
MEANWHILE, Laura
Ehrlich, in the
Hightower Austin office,
is doing the vital research
work for our editorial
content. And Sahu
Barron takes over desktop
and website design
and production—fields
in which her credits are
too numerous and her
experience too rich to
mention.
