A Final Note

Southeastern Geographer Vol. XXXI, No. 2, November 1991, p. 109 A FINAL NOTE This issue marks the end of my four-year tenure as editor of the Southeastern Geographer. I deeply appreciate the support given me by all the officers ofthe Southeastern Division, and I especially thank Treasurers Jess McKee and Betsy Pyle, whose expertise and efficiency in regard to fiscal matters made my life much easier. Among the many things I learned over the past four years is that a journal is the product not of the editor but ofthe authors and reviewers; it is their commitment and professionalism that make ajournai a success. The members of the Division have strongly supported the Southeastern Geographer and contributed directly to its excellent reputation, and I thank the many authors who submitted manuscripts over the past four years, the members of the Editorial Committee who carried the major burden of evaluating them, and the following individuals, each of whom reviewed one or more submissions: Michael Barnhardt, Susan Beatty, Sanford Bederman, Thomas Bell, George Brook, Timothy Brothers, Clyde Browning, Gregory Carbone, Malcolm Comeaux, David Cowen, Ralph Cross, Harm deBHj , Lawrence Estaville, Owen Furuseth, John Hall, Jay Harman, John Fraser Hart, Sam Hilliard, Elizabeth Hobbs, Sally Horn, Doyne Horsley, David Howarth, Sallie Ives, John Jakubs, Allan James, Robert Janiskee, Merrill Johnson, Laurence Kalkstein, Richard Kesel, Eric Klingel, Charles Kovacik, Dennis Lord, Edward Malecki, Michael Mayfield, Jesse McKee, Vernon Meentemeyer, Klaus Meyer-Arendt, Robert Müller , Nelson Nunnally, Clifton Pannell, Albert Parker, Linda Pett-Conklin, Richard Pillsbury, John Purvis, Karl Raitz, Peter Robinson, David Shankman, Gary Shannon, Peter Soulé, Donald Steila, Philip Suckling, Ronald Swager, Richard Ulack, James Wheeler, Douglas Wilms, and Eugene Wilson. Finally, I wish to thank the Department of Geography of the University of South Carolina, and especially Julian Minghi, for assistance and support during my tenure as editor. -John J. Winberry ...
