[Nmefman-medical] ANNOUNCEMENT: INTRODUCING 'THE JOURNEY' TO 'QUEST'

Dear Friends: I am pleased to advise that, commencing in this issue, there will be an added section to QUEST entitled The Journey, in recognition of those facing the daily struggles of ME/CFS and FM and its many challenges. We believe this section will be of interest to those interested in treatment options and support matters. James (Jim) Deagle has joined our team as Editor-in-Chief of The Journey. Jim has worked in several news media and communications positions. Starting out as a reporter and editor for various community newspapers, he went on to lend his written communications skills to several Ottawa-area high tech firms, as well as the Standards Council of Canada and the 50th anniversary edition of the Canadian Tulip Festival.
