President's Message

Dear Members:

I apologize for the delay in updating the web page. I have been so busy with end of year activities and I unfortunately was hospitalized for a few days; therefore, the web page has had to take a back seat.

As far as the induction ceremony went, I can honestly say that it was a specticle. It was both poignant and expeditious, not to mention very well recieved. If you missed it, I can honestly say that you missed a spectacular extravagenza. My only regret is that I could not attend the entire ceremony.

The officer elections went smoothly as well and I am happy to announce that thee President-elect for the coming school year is Nancy Behazin. New officer contacts will be posted along with the 2000-2001 officers as soon as time permits.

On a personal note, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Melinda Koonce, Anvy Nguyen, Suzanne Bonifaz, Xavier Cano, Amy Kaczmarowski, and all the other officers and members of ALD-PES for an outstanding year. We have grown tremendously as a team and I look forward to seeing what the 2001-2002 officers and members can accomplish. It has been my pleasure to serve as your President. When the officer transition becomes complete on May 23rd and I officially vacate my office, it will be my turn to smile and walk away. I am not good at doing that, but I must under the national consitiutions. I wish Nancy and her team the absolute best. Good luck and God speed.
David Landgrebe
Immediate Past President
