Volume 6; Issue 2
To all of you who have followed and enjoyed leaflet, I want to thank you for the privilege of working with you and of sharing these creative works. There are changes happening at The Permanente Press, and this is my last issue. It has been an honor to be able to do this work and a highlight of my career.
I thank you all and encourage you to keep reading, writing, and doing art. These days we all need it more than ever.
—Max McMillen, ELS
