Jeff
Forester, Content Editor
When we feel
like we are drowning in information,
statistics, documents, and stuff, we turn to
Jeff. Sometimes there is just too much
information to digest. He knows that data is
not a substitute for knowledge, and knowledge
cannot replace wisdom.
Jeff helps us find the
golden nuggets that speak to the hearts and
minds of our newsletter readers.
His first novel was was
Caverns, a collaboration with Ken Kesey and
other students while a MFA candidate at the
University of Oregon. His second book, an
ecological history of the northern Minnesota
wilderness, is due out in April 2004 from the
Minnesota Historical Society Press.
Jeff has published
articles in a variety of weekly newspapers,
Rolling Stone, and Whole Earth Review among
others. He has served as Conservation Issues
editor for the Tower News since 1990, and a
features contributor for Pulse Magazine since

Billie Rose, his
daughter, says that her daddy wants to
freelance so he can put money into her college
fund. He may be reached at

Hank
Stroll, Publisher
Don't like something at
InternetVIZ? It is probably Hank's fault. :-)
As the publisher at
InternetVIZ, the buck stops here. Hank's
varied career consists of many 'out of work'
stretches. When this 'old man' has
worked, it was as CEO, Director of Marketing,
Operations Director, salesperson, product
manager, and owner of 3 companies. He likes
InternetVIZ the best because of the
great feedback from
the readers.
Alida (Hank's wife), says
that he works enough already and is NOT
available for freelance work. He may be
reached, however, at
Hank@InternetVIZ.com or 612-871-4000. If
you wish to complain about him, contact Alida
at
Alida@mn.rr.com.
