Editor's Note The In-plant Family

Niki Steenhoek stopped to say hello, and I asked her about her comrades in Des Moines. Then I bumped into Dave Schlueter, of Piper Jaffray in Minneapolis, and we lamented that neither of us ran the conference Fun Run this year—though we're both sure we would have won.

No, the in-plant industry is nothing at all like the commercial printing sector. The camaraderie is much stronger. I'm thankful my job has given me the chance to befriend folks like these from all over the country.
