Highlights
★ Bob Jarecke's First Bylines
Bob Jarecke — future Pi President (early 2009) and Editor — debuts in the Journal here with TWO articles in one issue: "Dr. Mac LIVE!" (LeVitus visit recap) + "Photography Done Right!" Jarecke goes on to become President by 2009-01 — V31 N01 and then Editor from mid-2009. Important: traceable origin of Jarecke at Pi.
