Well, the year is gone and some year it was.  The Stansbury Forum sends New Year’s greetings to all our readers and contributors worldwide.

The Stansbury Forum was established to honor our dear friend and workmate Jeff Stansbury who died in 2008. A lover of life, ideas, and the human spirit, we have tried to make the Forum a place he would be proud to have his name on.  This year we posted a range of writings and photos on topics as varied as the political midterms and the recent docudrama on the LA Lakers, a cold eye analyze of the railroad labor contract, and continued labor struggles in the fields and Amazon’s warehouse floors.

Let’s stay in touch in 2023! We welcome your comments and reactions to our postings, as well topics and stories we should be looking at.

Solidarity and hugs for the New Year,The Editors: Bob Gumpert and Peter Olney
