Editorial
Now & Then
Our more observant readers will note that this is
Volume 8, Number 1 of the Upper Left Edge,
meaning that we are begining our eighth year of
publication.
We have often been asked about the name of the
paper. Some folks think it is a political statement, as
in a positive, left wing, cutting edge paper, or less
commonly that it is a geographical statement, that we
are located on the upper left edge of America, in
Oregon. These are both true to a degree, but if the
full truth be known the upper left edge of the page is
where you begin to write, when you write in English.
It is where the words begin, and that is it.
And as we write, we are waiting on two columns
from one who will remain nameless, and as usual
trying to figure how we will pay the printer for ten
pages this month. We have somehow managed for
seven years to get the paper printed, distributed, and
paid for, and no one is more amazed than we are.
There are literally hundreds of people who made this
happen over the years; readers, friends, subscribers,
volunteers, family; but when it comes to the month by
month paying of the bills it’s our advertisers.
We would really appreciate it, if you happen to be
in a business which advertises in the Edge, if you
would just mention that you saw the ad. Some of the
ads you see on these pages have been with us from
day one, some are new this month, but they all are
helping us bring the paper to you for free, and
bringing new writers and illustrators to your attention.
We are proud that in a small way we have had an
impact on our community, and perhaps on the wider
world as well through our web site; in support of the
arts and the environment, and the always elusive
rational dialogue.
Anyway, readers, distributors, advertisers,
contributors, — oh, and me too, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
I would die to express my gratitude to the many
friends, neighbors and relatives -who gave so much (ove
and support after the death of my aunt, Violet L
Thompson.
J am particularly grateful to those who organized and
participated in the memorial gathering at the Wave Crest.
Violet was extremely fortunate to have such wonderful
friends. Thanh you a ll very much.

Do you know how many teardrops it
takes to fill up a teaspoon? A hundred
and twenty, actually. I tested i t I was
very sad and I thought, I’m going to
make some sue of it, so 1 held a spoon
at my cheek and I cried. This is my
science project for the year.
