Dear Friends,

Over the last dozen years, TPO has grown a great deal. At the same time, so has my life - jobs, family, friends, other interests - all have vied for my limited time. As such, I have been unable to keep up with TPO business as much as I would have liked to.

I have decided to suspend publication until the start of 2005. I have found some fellow amateur astronomers who are willing to help me tend more efficiently to TPO and I fully intend to start publishing again after this period of re-adjustment!

I wanted to thank everyone for their past support, for their patience and I look forward to bringing you a better publication in the new year!
