Farewell
With this issue, we say farewell to Assistant Editor Jason Bates. He has been with KD from almost the beginning, and he will certainly be greatly missed. But we will be in his corner as he ventures into new projects, and he will always be part of the KD fam! Take some time to check out the special feature zine that he edited with Libby Cudmore titled "Play It Again." Jason also did the photography for Issue 10 "On the Brink," so revisit that beauty. Cheers, Jason, and thank you. . .for everything :)
