From The Editor's Desk

And...here's Richard Wentzel!

In the March issue, following the debut of "Sidepin Profile" in February, I introduced its editor Richard Wentzel, aka Gayner "Ted" Armstrong. Unfortunately, the photo of Richard came following the biographical material I included in "From the Editor's Desk." Since his second "Sidepin Profile" is running this month, I thought it appropriate to share the photo of Richard with some of his extensive Millville, New Jersey insulator collection manufactured in his hometown. He is holding a brass cap of the type applied to some Whitall Tatum 1025 insulators.
