In this issue, we find a wealth of lunar information contributed from across the globe. It is always exciting when new observers send in material. A new contributor to us, István Zoltán Földvári of Budapest, Hungary, has been actively sketching the Moon since 2007. A handful of his wonder lunar drawings are in the Recent Topographic Studies. Also in this issue, there are a number of interesting articles, drawings and images. Robert H. Hays, Jr. has a wonderful observation of Torricelli C. Alberto Anunziato discusses wrinkle ridges in three articles. It always amazes me the data that he can mine from ALPO observations and even Apollo spacecraft images. Rik Hill provides two great essays and articles on lunar topography. Darryl Wilson provided the fifth article in his series of lunar imaging. As always, Tony Cook provides a very thorough discussion in his Lunar Geologic Change. To all of our contributors, thank you very much! Recently, the founder of The Lunar Observer, William Dembowski retired as assistant coordinator of the ALPO Lunar Topographic Section Studies Program. I thank William for all the help he provided through the years and developing the newsletter that you are reading. Best of luck and wishes with all of your future endeavors William! Please keep in mind the future Focus-On topics outlined at the end of this issue. The deadline for Mare Frigoris material (articles, observations, drawings, images (old or new)) are due by April 20, 2022. Also, future Focus-On topics will include the many rayed craters of the Moon. We look forward to all these observations!
