San Diego
Woman

Dear Readers,

It is hard to believe that 7 years have passed since we published, our first issue of San Diego Woman Magazine. We have covered some
extremely interesting topics and met some amazing women along the way. Working with the people I have been lucky enough to meet
along the way has made me grow as a writer, editor and as a woman.

I am so proud of our special anniversary issue. Our cover girl, Susan Taylor, former News Anchor and current Director of External Affairs
for Scripps Health, shares some very personal experiences that have led her into a new career.

Music legend Huey Lewis and the News share their story with us prior to their San Diego performance at the Pechanga Resort and Ca-
sino. Don’t miss the special feature on the The Saxsations, the all-female San Diego based saxophone quartet led by Dr. LeiLani Vidal;
doctor by day and sassy saxophonist at night.

Check out our He Said, She Said and explore the topic of anniversaries from the male and female perspective.
Yes, women remember them all…why don’t men?

We have some amazing women featured in this issue. Take some time to read about Jean McAlister and her
Regional Recovery Centers that were born out of her own personal struggle. As usual this is just a few of the
great stories and great women you will meet in our 7th Anniversary issue.

Thanks to our hardworking staff who have been working together since our very first issue. Having said that
there is one thing I cannot leave out of this letter which is my thank you to all of those who have unselfishly
offered their time, talents and hard work to make San Diego Woman a publication that has won some great
awards and of which I am extremely proud.
Thank you Sonali, for all the late nights, hard work, dedication, and beautiful designs that have graced the
pages of every issue, you are amazingly talented. Thank you Lisa for your breathtaking photographic inter-
pretations, often making the ordinary look extraordinary: Also, thank you for your flexibility, always being there
4 for last minute photo emergencies. And thank you Bob, our wonderful copy editor, without whom I would look
somewhat illiterate. I so appreciate your quick turnarounds when I receive a last minute contribution. To all our
contributing writers, whose excitement is infectious and keeps me motivated even when the economy and the
distractions of life get in the way. Thanks to those who have provided financial and emotional support and have been advocates for the
causes we have promoted through the years. And thank you to all of our readers and advertisers who have supported San Diego Woman
and provided feedback to make us a better magazine.

Sincerely,
Judith A. Habert

Publisher/Editor-in-Chief
