This EDITORIAL GOLD STAR is awarded to Nick Muskovac, FPSA, MPSA of Palm Harbor, Florida in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the Photographic Society of America Journal. Nick’s first contribution to the PSA Journal was a photo in the September 1996 issue. In addition to numerous feature articles and news items since then, in January 2003, he became Director of Star Ratings and Who’s Who for the Electronic Imagine Division. He held that position through 2012. The receiving of this Gold Star is certainly a milestone as only 50 have been awarded since the Editorial Awards Program was established in 1957. The Editorial Awards Stars are the membership’s way of saying thank you to those who take their time to write items or contribute photographs for the Journal. Therefore, this Editorial Gold Star expresses our sincere thanks to Nick Muskovac.
