Said Dr. White: "Long ago and far away when I was a doctoral student, my advisor Louis Krumholz was Editor of Wildlife Monographs. While I was there, he also took over as Editor of the Journal of the Kentucky Academy of Science (J-KAS). At least once a month a manuscript would appear on my desk with the note, "Check the science, check the grammar, check the references, return by Friday." I read both wonderful and awful manuscripts. More important, I learned to write, and that the best science will not be published unless one can write. Being elected Editor of J-KAS brings me full circle. I expect that manuscripts will start showing up on my graduate students' desks and that Louis might be pleased." Dr. White can be reached in his office at 474-2272 or at David.White@MurrayState.edu.
