FROM THE BOARD
Dear friends,
This is a special announcement.
All members of the FECO Board are of
great age. On average, we are together
400 years old. Marlene will be 87 and I
will be 80 next year.
I have been working for many years as
your President General as well as editor-
in-chief of our magazine. I started (after
Ronald Libin) in 1993 with number 17
and until now you have number 87 to
read.
Till FECONEWS Magazine 70, we have
printed the magazine and have sent it
around the world. Since issue 71 we
have been distributing our magazine
digitally by mail (to save many costs
for sending).
Of course, we hope that our FECO Chiefs
in different countries will distribute the
magazine to their members. (We’re
sorry to notice that not all FECO Chiefs
did this frequently !).
I also counted the middle age of our
FECO Chiefs in different countries;
it seems to be 62 years! A few are
younger, but most are over 70 years!
So it is time to look for young and new
blood to take it over.
Who will make the magazine, and
can they make it?
If my health is
good enough, I will continue
till FECONEWS Magazine 90 is
produced at the end of 2026 or the
beginning of 2027.
I think it is enough. I have been working
for FECO since we started in 1985, so
it will be more than 40 years working
for the benefit of cartoons and the
cartoonists.
It is time to stop soon......
