From the Editor's Desk

Dear Colleagues:

Hello! It was wonderful to see and speak with so many of you in Denver. As outlined briefly at the meeting, a number of improvements to the website are planned for the next 6 months, in hopes of making the website even more useful to you. Please allow me to introduce a new addition to the website today, the SPP Bulletin Board. The goal of the Bulletin Board is to improve communication among pediatric pathologists, providing a place to post announcements, introduce new fellows or faculty, and keep track of comings and goings in our Society. I hope you will check it out. Please email me if you would like to post an item.


Until next time,
Robert E. Ruiz
