Hard to believe that it was five years ago when we sent our first e-mail alert on January 23, 2003! Well there have been 117 e-mail alerts since that first one and a tripling of the number of recipients. All the articles, FAQs and links provided in our alerts can be found on our website. The articles are on the commentary page. The FAQS on the FAQ page. All the alerts are located in our alert archive, and then there is also our charts page.

There is a team here and at our parent company Newkirk Products, Inc. involved in the production of each alert.

At McKay, Julie Dellapi keeps our e-mail alert mailing list current for every issue, not a small task. Julie also helps with proofing as does Sandy Kovats. Elaine Palma reviews the seminars and eSeminars and links testing. Steve Oberndorf reviews most articles. Rich Hochman, our President, reviews all articles. Christine Tinus placed many of the drafts of the articles onto the web.

At Newkirk, Mary Neumann, copy edits the topic paragraphs on the alert. McKay Hochman's CEO, Jim Salada also reviews the edits. Kerri Catalano coordinates the process at Newkirk from the graphics area, which is Brenda Kephart, and through computer testing and mailing.

As website and alert editor and primary author of most of the articles, I feel honored and priviledged to be part of the team providing E-mail Alerts since their origin. Thanks to the team for all their hard work and best wishes for their continued success in the future.

Bill Grossman, QPA
