The former editor, who me, and Infintiy put a lot of faith in has now taken on the role of FNS Executive Officer, and that person is Silek! With it has come a boost in rank to Captain, so full four pips for him, and he will now have to get a new signature!

      So please join me in welcoming Silek to CL5, and congratulating him on his appointment! It has been well deserved!
