Tribute to Michel's Departure as our Newsletter Editor Have you ever met Michel Gulick, our
newsletter editor?
Michel has been our Newsletter Editor, or should we say, our Newsletter Guru for the last two years but we never had a chance to meet. No kidding! From the West Coast, Michel has been the a Jack of All Trades for the newsletter, thanks to the wonder of the technology and despite being a few hours behind New York and Paris. Now in Russia, he will be a few hours ahead of us, running after other opportunities. read Michel's complete tribute online
