From the Editor: In Sandy's Wake

Just as we were finalizing this issue, Hurricane Sandy slammed into our area. The storm closed down Philadelphia for two days, including IPG's offices, and brought major damage to the surrounding areas.

Though my family endured many nervous hours of rain and ferocious winds, we were, thankfully, spared from damage or power outings. Many of my friends had no electricity for days, just as autumn's chilliest temperatures set in. Still, they were much more fortunate than those in the ravaged New Jersey coastal communities nearby and up in New York City.
