Editor's Note
  This is the third issue for the DIGI Hall of Fame. I feel very familiar to those three awardees, Con Kenny, Peter Charagionis and S A Chandran, as I have worked with them and they have supported me for publication of DIGI News Bulletin for a long time. In their messages, I feel their deep, solid and consistent belief in business. One thing I keep in mind is that these three gentlemen are super in their personal character, not to mention about their excellent business capacity. I have learned lots from them. In the same way, it is my great pleasure to have had many opportunities to contact DIGI family members for the publication of DIGI News Bulletin. I could get to know many Family Members personally while working for DIGI publicity. These experiences over the past 20 years have been invaluable and helped me grow. Time has quickly flown by. The new calendar year will soon come. I hope you will be pleased to work with me for the seamless publication of DIGI News Bulletin in 2006. I am looking forward to receiving your news worldwide for the next issue No. 55. (Yoshiko)
