My dear Dr. Autio,
I am greatly pleased to learn that the position is open for foreigners too.
Before submitting my application, I would like to know about the Annual Meeting
which the editor is supposed to attend. I shall be grateful if you could
kindly provide me the following information:
a.. Is the meeting held once in a year or more than once.
b.. What is the duration of the meeting.
c.. How much will it cost for boarding, lodging, local travel (as I shall not
be having my own car) during the meeting. I had sent you one more mail in
which I had stated I could bear the cost of my return air ticket from India to
the JFK Airport. I have visited USA many times in the past and I know how
expensive is it there for we Indians due to a very high cost of US dollar here.
Will the 2000 dollars that the APS provides for travel be enough for meeting
the entire cost of my travel from New York to the venue of meeting (air ticket,
hotel, sometimes local travel between JFK and Liberty Airports, travel from New
York to the Venue of the meeting, cost of stay and local travel at the meeting
venue, travel from meeting venue to JFK Airport, other incidental and
unforeseen expenses).
If it is not enough, will there be some way of compensating me for the
additional expenses?
I had attended the annual meeting of the North Indian Fruit Explorers (NAFEX)
at Columbia Missouri four years back. They had paid for all my expenses after
I had landed at JFK. There was a lot of bonus too. Mr. Jerry Lehman, NAFEX
President, brought me to his home at Tera Haute. I was with them for three
days and it was a great experience. Then Barbara, Jerry's wife, drove me to
Indianapolis airport for catching my next flight. Well I do not expect so
much, but I should be able to meet my expenses comfortably. Please remember
that I shall be spending minimum US$2000 for my travel from home to JFK Airport
and back.
So please advise me.
After hearing back from you, I shall submit my formal application.
I am very confident that I shall be able to do the job VERY WELL. I know your
journal. I had published few papers in some Himalayan wild growing fruits in
it about 20 years back when I was employed by the University of Horticulture at
Solan.
With best regards,
Very truly yours,

Dr. Parmar, I am sorry for the delay in responding to your question. The
position certainly is open to people from around the World. All correspondence
can be done with email. It does, however, require attendance at the Annual
Meeting (usually held in conjunction with the Annual Meeting of the American
Society for Horticultural Science). -- Wes

Dear Wesley,
Is the position open to foreigners too. I think I can do the job very
well. I had published 2-3 articles on Himalayan wild growing fruits some years
back when I used to work in the university.
You can have a look at my CV at Fruitipedia. Currently I am compiling
Fruitipedia and working on a multi volume book, SOME VERY LITTLE KNOWN FRUITS
OF THE WORLD.
I also keep writing articles on lesser known fruits in a couple of US
magazines.
So please advise me. If the possibilities are there, I shall submit my
regular application.
With best regards,
Very truly yours,

editor
I am sorry. The links in the previous email that I sent did not work
properly. I hope that that these work.
The American Pomological Society is searching for a new editor for the
Journal of the American Pomological Society. The Journal is the most important
output of our society, and therefore, the editor is likely the most important
position. We would very much like to find an enthusiastic individual with
enough experience to take on this extremely important role. If you are
interested, please review the following documents:
A list of editorial duties, compensation, and approximate time commitment
http://people.umass.edu/autio/APS_Editor_duties_and_compensation.pdf
A draft agreement between the Editor and the Society
http://people.umass.edu/autio/APS_Editor_agreement.pdf
Interested applicants should email a letter of interest and an electronic
version of their CV (condensed to include editorial experience primarily) to me
([email protected]) by July 19, 2010. The Editorial Committee will review
applications and make a recommendation to the APS Board at the Annual Meeting.
If you have questions, do not hesitate to contact me.
