Abstract :
AS YOU READ THIS, MY FIRST year as IEEE Power & Energy Society (PES) president will be winding down. I hope your year has been as exciting and rewarding as mine. On a personal note, I retired from PPL Electric Utilities in April after a 40-year career. However, my PES work has managed to fill any gaps in my schedule, so I´ll have to wait another year or two to see what retirement is really all about. Time has never flown by as swiftly as it has this year.
