Dear Lovers,
We published the first eMatrimony
News Flash September 7, 2003. With the exception of the News Flash
scheduled for September 19, 2007 we have provided a News Flash every
three weeks. I (Jack) have enjoyed this challenge and the opportunity
to serve the WWME Family as the editor for eMatrimony.
My work load has nearly doubled in the past two months
and the chance of this slowing down is not in the near future. I
am faced with a choice between my time commitment to our Local Area
and Section or my time commitment to eMatrimony.
After months of prayer and discussion with Karen and our National
Leaders, Tony & Cathy Witczak and Fr. Emile Frische, we have
decided it is time to step aside as the editors of eMatrimony.
We have been told eMatrimony
will continue with a new format soon to be unveiled, so I will continue,
as time allows, to send articles and archive materials from the
old Matrimony and Spirit magazines to eMatrimony
but I do not have the energy or time to continue as the editor.
I want to express extreme gratitude to Ralph &
Jane Becker who worked with us to develop eMatrimony
and who have been a constant source of encouragement and dedicated
loyal web masters. Without their help and expertise eMatrimony
might still be just a dream. Thank you Ralph & Jane you are
wonderful!
