From the Editor   

New Orleans is a lovely historic city.  Wandering in the streets of the French Quarter past the Old Ursuline Convent (erected 1727-34), or bumping along on a street car through the Garden District, or threading through the city's unique, above-ground cemeteries, the visitor may feel the past is palpably present - or, at least, the past is lurking in the background like one of Anne Rice's stylish vampires.  But the city's sprawling conference facility, its modern hotels, and thriving shopping districts are indications of the city's potential to flourish.
 

Similarly, this issue of your LIRT Newsletter includes some history in the form of reports of work completed and tasks accomplished; however, you will also find a slate of candidates running for LIRT offices, a proposal for bylaws revisions, and forward-looking articles and columns.  As always, these pages give evidence of a vital and healthy organization thoughtfully positioning itself for the future.
