Our New Home

Finally'....nearly two years after we first saw the land, we ha*t moved into our new offices. The building nestles against a heavi;-. wooded and boulder-strewn hillside, down which a brook tumbles to join the East Aspetuck River across the road. It's a lovely place and a lovely feeling to have ample working space and sufficient land for future expansion.

The building is the result of many hours of discussion, debate, and seemingly endless changes in the elevation drawings before we finally came up with what we felt was the right blend of traditional and contemporary design elements.

Although the building is not strictly a solar design, we tried to incorporate as many energy-saving factors as possible into the construction. The high hills in back shield it from the cold prevailing northwest wind, while the low winter sun enters the large south windows to add considerable free solar heat. Also, all exterior framing is of two by sixes which allowed the use of double insulation in the walls. We've been here more than a month now and the savings in heating costs have exceeded our expectations.

Actually, this new building was a joint effort. We designed and built it, but the support of our subscribers made it possible. 1 think we should all take a bow.

At The Masthead

Now that we've got the room, the next step is getting more help so that we can turn out even better issues. Since moving in, we've added two more people to the staff. Lynne Walton, who had the courage to relocate all the way from Birmingham, Alabama, has been appointed Circulation Manager, replacing Pat Friberg who is now Office Manager.

Since we now have a reception area, it seemed logical to hire a full-time receptionist and Pat Murphy is the charming gal whose voice you will first hear when you call us.
