Another New Change for the Camp Knox Gazette
Issues to be sent via Email
With this edition the Camp Knox Gazette will be undergoing another change. This is to allow the Gazette to be sent via email to those that are interested in the 4th Maine Regiment from outside of the unit.
This will mean that some of the niceties found in the hard copy of the Gazette will not be available. This will mean that photos and the advertisements found in the hard copies will not be found in the email copy. Past experiments with sending a full-blown copy over the email was too time consuming for the size of the document, as it takes 20 minutes for a large sized document to be transmitted. This is not cost effective to the editor, costing more than it does to mail a hard copy.
Everything in the hard copy will remain as it was in the last copy of the Gazette. That being said, this copy of the Gazette will not contain any photos, as there are none available from our last events. The editor needs help from the members of the 4th Maine in this. Plenty of people take cameras with them, while the editor takes a movie camera. The editor needs copies of photos for inclusion in the Gazette.
In the last edition of the Gazette it was announced that a new color printer would allow color photos to be viewed in the Gazette. Once the Gazette was finally published people only saw black and white photos. This came about when it proved to be too time con-suming to print the color photos. It took 20 minutes to print one copy of the Gazette using the color printer (it is not a laser). At this rate it would take 10 hours to print out the 30 copies of the Gazette that is produced with each printing.
The Gazette still needs articles from other members for its pages. There should be more people contributing to the Gazette, especially from those that complain about it. Capt Robinson and 1st Sergt Meysmans can not, and should not, do it all by themselves. So, come on folks, a little help here. Something that is definitely lacking are articles for, and about, the ladies. The editor would like to see something about what the ladies need to know about.
