We do ask regular readers, however, for an annual contribution of $42 to help defray costs (for the remainder of Volume 2, through June 7, 1996, Manitoba readers have had their donations paid courtesy of a Manitoba charitable foundation). Money sent to CM qualifies as a charitable donation.

Duncan Thornton
Editor
A former Marketing Director for Turnstone Press, and a continuing graduate student in English at the University of Manitoba (with Canadian children's literature as his thesis area), Thornton has been a freelance editor and designer for several years.
Thornton says the internet has been both work (see the on-line Prairie Books NOW site) and recreation (see the grammar-crank ``Lay/Lie Distinction" page) since 1988.
In his free time (which the CM Managment Committee has told him he will no longer have any of), Thornton is also a writer, with plays produced by CBC Radio and Alberta Theatre Projects, and fiction, features, and reviews published in Zygote, Prairie Fire, and elsewhere.
Peter Tittenberger
Executive Assistant
Peter is responsible for the design, layout and electronic delivery
of CM. This includes the design and implementation of the journal
on its World Wide Web site, as well as the delivery of the journal
to subscribers by e-mail. Peter maintains the subscriber database
and accounts. In addition, Peter is responsible for marketing CM
and managing the advertising accounts.
Peter graduated from the
University of Manitoba in 1973. He joined the University of Winnipeg Media
Department in 1976 as an Assistant Photographer and in 1978 was
appointed Supervisor of Photography and Graphics. He remained with
the University of Winnipeg until the spring of 1995.
Peter has
been active on various public sector Boards, primarily those with
an emphasis on the visual arts and post secondary education
Peter has
exhibited his photographs in public and private art galleries
throughout Canada. He curated the exhibition Press Photography
1959. In collaboration
with author Per Brask, Peter produced an exhibition entitled Still
Stories. In this project, Per Brask wrote short stories based upon
still images taken by Peter. The images were used as
decontextualized visual documents designed to trigger and stimulate
personal stories.
With writer and historian Walter Hildebrandt,
Peter produced the exhibition Brooks:
Coming Home, a reexamination of the building of the Brooks
Aqueduct in southern Alberta. This mixture of poetry and
documentary, personal meaning and public history, revisits Brooks,
a forerunner of the controversial mega-projects of today.
Peter is delighted to be a part of CM, and looks forward to the challenge
of producing a weekly electronic journal.
