Stepping Down

Hello All,

I will be stepping down as the PERIScope Administrator and Managing Editor effective January 1, 2026.

When I first responded to Ken MacDonalds request for support I had no idea what I was getting into. Together we developed an appreciation, understanding and more importantly a vision for the website. Although it has not worked out exactly as planned I am deeply grateful to have been a part of it.

I’ve learned so much from all of you, and I’m proud of what we've accomplished. It’s been an honor to serve, support, and grow alongside this amazing community. I leave knowing the site is in good stead and with the right person taking the reins will live on for years to come.

Thank you for your trust, your collaboration, and your kindness over the years. I may be stepping away, but I’ll always be cheering this community on from the sidelines.

With heartfelt appreciation,

Dan Girard
