A Few Thoughts

By Duke Heath

Congratulations are in order to our entire group. M-Ark has received national recognition once again by being nominated twice by the American Mensa Publications Recognition Program. These are our seventh and eighth national nominations over the last four years. This year we were nominated for Best Theme Issues and for Boldest and Brightest treatment of a controversial topic; Abortion. Thanks to all who contributed to last years issues as well as this month's.

In the next issue we will be searching for a solution to the problems afflicting the Arkansas education system. As usual, I will accept essays on any other topic also.

Anyone who has not renewed their membership in Mensa needs to do so as soon as possible. We have over 60 who have lapsed.

I appreciate my brother writing the Lasik article this month. His explanation to me of the procedure was so interesting and thorough that I thought other optically challenged members might appreciate the info. I also appreciate Bill Westerman's story on one day's notice. Thanks Bill.
