Thanks Bob Comerford!
After eight years of quiet, unsung, but extremely effective assistance to AMRM, volunteer proofreader, Bob Comerford, has put his red pencil in the drawer and taken a well-deserved ‘retirement’. From late 2009 until last issue, Bob checked every article, review and news item once it was laid out and his attention to detail definitely showed in the final result. The standards of excellence in production values that AMRM currently reaches is definitely the result of the quality of work put in by our ‘behind the scenes’ volunteers, such as Bob, to make sure that the magazine that you read is as perfect and free from ‘typos’ as possible. As mentioned in these pages recently, Bob’s position in the proofreading process has been filled by Louise Smithers, who is carrying on the fine tradition of excellent proofreading that Bob so capably fulfilled in the past.
Bob remains an active modeller and his activities can be followed on his blog: trainsinshed.blogspot.com. AMRM wishes to publically thank Bob for his excellent work for the magazine and to wish him a long and happy retirement.
