UP FRONT First we had better introduce ourselves. We are the people who, starting this issue, have the responsibility for putting together Village Squire each month. With the retirement of Keith and Jill Roulston from full time publishing we've got a hard act to follow. But we're willing to learn and have plunged into preparation for this issue you're about to read with some trepidation and a great deal of excitement. Village Squire, under editor Keith Roulston, has been one of our favourite magazines. It's the only one that focuses on excellence, on people and places who are a little out of the ordinary in increasingly lively and interesting Western Ontario. New owners, McLean Bros. Publishing Ltd., a small family company that has published Seaforth's weekly newspaper The Huron Expositor for more than 110 years, intend to follow Keith Roulston's policy. Sitting on the editorial board and deciding on the magazine's content and direction are former editor Keith Roulston, ( a collective sigh of relief was heard when he agreed to help); Alice Gibb of Seaforth, a UWO journalism grad and an excellent reporter and feature writer; Sheila Gunby of Dungannon, a former potter who brings her talent for design and the visual arts to laying out the pages of Village Squire; and Susan White of RR1 Dublin, editor of the Expositor. We've heard from Keith Roulston that Village Squire has an unusual number of loyal, involved readers. We'd like to start our first issue by inviting you to send us short stories and travel articles that we can consider for publication, the names of people and places you think Village Squire might like to write about and your comments in general...complimentary or critical...about the magazine. From time to time when we're planning stories for future issues we're going to ask you for some specific help. Right now for example we've got a story on used bookstores in Village Squire's coverage area in the works and would like to hear about any in your neighbourhood. Please drop us a line at Box 10, Blyth, NOM 1HO. Thanks to Keith Roulston, Village Squire is an original look at the good life in Western Ontario. With the help of you, our readers, we hope to keep it that way.
