Dear Friends, It seems like it was only yesterday that we drove the
last of you to the airport. The memories and the spirit of the
Scientific Detectors for Astronomy Workshop (SDW2002) remain fresh
and strong. For us, this was a very special event, a great
gathering of what may be one of the friendliest and most
cooperative technical communities on our little planet. We have
tried to capture the spirit of the Workshop in these Proceedings
and we hope you are able to relive your week in Hawaii. For those
readers who did not attend, we invite you into this community. As
you probably noticed, there is a new name on the cover: Jenna
Beletic was the ace up our sleeve for these Proceedings. As a
summer intern at Keck, she took up the task of organizing,
proofreading, editing and formatting the papers. She also made the
graphics (her artistic talents shine on pages xxxiii and xxxv),
contacted authors and prepared the mountain of paperwork which goes
with producing a book. Jenna's enthusiasm at learning, her passion
for the job and creativity (e. g. find 100 ways to get Paola and
Jim to do their jobs) have been a motivating addition to our team
of "old workshop foxes..".... and a source for a good deal of
paternal pride. We are honoured to have her as a fellow editor.
