2024-Winter CE News From the Editors

Editor’s New Year Commentary

Spring has faded and most of us are living in the dead heat of summer.  It’s hovering near triple digits here in Texas where I continue to cobble together another issue of CE News.  I’m certain we would all prefer to be swimming on the Amalfi Coast or lunching at a small village restaurant in the Burgundy region of France.
