In my editorial entitled "Three Dawn Two to Go," which appeared in the June 1988 issue of Optical Engineering, I announced that I would step down as Editor after two more years. Now, one year later, I still have a year and a half to go. Where did the extra half year come from? The answer is simple; my sentence was extended an additional six months as punishment for some poor editorial writing. (Actually, I was asked to stay on for six months to help ease the transition for my successor, who shall remain unnamed for the time being.)
