Since Modern Casting decided they no longer wished to publish my column and I feel I still have something to say, I will continue to write my thoughts on management and technical issues as the mood strikes me and post them here. If there's something you particularly enjoy, please let me know.  If you would like to be notified when material is added or if you would like to comment about something, drop me an email at rwl@lobenhofer.com indicating so and your email address.
