From
our staff:

When
I was growing up in Minnesota,
the telephone operator, Irene,
lived in the same hotel as
I did. It was Irene that connected
you whenever you needed to
place a call; she was the
human link that enabled an
otherwise faceless technology.
As
PPS becomes ever more engaged
in the internet (as this edition
of Making Places illustrates
in detail), the role I envision
for us is not so different
from a latter-day Irene. The
web allows us to be a great
connector, linking people
to each other and to the places
that matter to them.
