The Editorial Calendar for the second half of 1989 is now complete. In addition to our monthly columns: ASIC on Irrigation Design; Computers and CADD; Landscape Lighting; the Business of Landscape Architecture; Let’s Have a Look, and Movers and Shakers, LASN will be spotlighting specific areas of Landscape Architecture, as follows: May – Preservation June – Parks/Public Spaces; July – Industrial Projects; August – Golf Courses; September – Zoos; October – City Renovation; November – Southeastern Landscape Architecture; December – the Annual Yearbook. If you are working on, or have completed projects in any one of these categories, we would like to hear about it. Our focus is on solutions and projects that require that little dose of extra initiative. If you would like your project to appear in LASN, please call us at 714-979-LASN. Did any of you watch the Academy Awards? If so, and you lasted throughout the entire program, you will have heard that Landscape Architecture has a new hero. In presenting the Oscar for Outstanding Production Set Manager, Gene Hackman likened these experts with “Landscape Architects” for their importance to the overall outcome of their project. Way-ta-go, Mr. Hackman! On a sadder note, LASN sadly reports the passing of Mary Elizabeth LaFetra who co-founded Rainbird in 1935. While it is not the policy to mention suppliers in the publisher’s “Observations,” we feel that the impact of the LaFetra family on the landscape profession is worth noting. Our sympathy to her son, daughter, and grandchildren. ?EUR??,,????'??+God Bless George Schmok, Publisher
