Sam has been secretary for seven and a half years so far.  You were
editor for five and a half years.  Joe's Journals cover about three
and a half years.  But since the first series of WSFA Journals went
from 1965 or earlier to 1973 or later, it sounds like it's a close
race between Don Miller and Sam Lubell, and nobody else is in the
running.

Of course I'm conflating secretary with editor, which WSFA hasn't
always done.  And I'm also assuming Don Miller was the editor for
all the first series Journals, and that there were no gaps in those
Journals.  I hope to pin all this down once and for all this year.
