Lutheran Witness: August 2007

With this issue, we salute and say goodbye to Mr. Don
Folkemer, managing editor of The Lutheran Witness
for the past eight years. Under Don, who retired
July 31st, the Witness held its own during a tough time for denominational magazines, whose circulations across the board have been falling for many years.

This is a testament to (1) the loyalty of Witness readers; (2) Don’s colleagues at Concordia Publishing House and the International Center; (3) the writers, photographers, and illustrators employed by Don; and (4) Don himself.
