Fifteen years. Wow. I was present for all fifteen, and contributed my share of articles to Wheelwrightings, but as the current editor of something slightly comparable to this one, the thought of fifteen years at the job is still pretty darned unbelievable. Great Sherlockian scholarship by so many of the great Sherlockians of its era, and typeset pages in a day when you had to actually pay a typesetter to get those neat justified columns! I'm definitely biased on this little journal, as it's a major part of Sherlock Peoria history.
