Editor's Corner: Tribute to Roberta Pierce

EDITOR’S CORNER

The 30^TH Anniversary Edition of the International Journal of Orofacial Myology is dedicated as a tribute to Roberta B. Pierce, our beloved colleague. Roberta put many hours into IJOM as Editor, Business Manager, Managing Editor, and author. She helped in many ways make IJOM what it is today. I hope that you will find that this 2004 Issue is worthy of her memory.

Thank you to the authors for their scholarly contributions to this special edition. Thank you to the IJOM Editorial Staff who worked so diligently in putting this issue together. Thank you to the friends and family that I also drafted into service for this issue and for putting up with me in the process. Thank you to the IAOM Board of Directors for their continued support. Thank you to the members who contributed so generously to the Roberta Pierce Memorial Fund to help us give this issue a special look:
