Stan confirms that Ben never reviewed his Publishers Notes nor any ads. Stan submits suggestions, copied herein -- I would like to officially request of the Board that the name "JUGGLE" and the designs utilized in JUGGLE be retired with the May/June 2003 issue. I ask this for a few reasons (albeit, two and three are just speculative on my part): 1. We created the name and the entire look of this publication, and we poured everything we could into it. I think we displayed repeatedly that we were in this as a partnership with the IJA, not purely as a "for hire." That we regularly made decisions that benefited the IJA (such as turning back the Directory and taking part in junior memberships) at cost to us. I would hope that we could set this portion of our history, and this portion of the IJA's history, upon the shelf as a separate entity. 2. I would think that a new publisher would want to put their own designs on it. 3. If the IJA does decide to downsize its publication, a new name and look would create less comparisons to the previous title. Please let me know your thoughts on this, as well as how I would go about pursuing this. Thank you, Stan Allen 07:20 - Stan leaves call.
