Update #15 - Home stretch!... Aug. 1, 2018

Hey everybody!

I wanted to give you an update on the book.  The release date got pushed a few months ago to next Spring, so that gave me some much needed months for final edits.  The book is due at Pelican Press in fifteen days and I am working around the clock to make that happen.  It will be 192 pages total and features a ton of photos and memorabilia from 1907 to 2014.  Writing it was the easy part.  It's laying out each page, placing each photo and putting shadows behind it...designing every last look that has taken so long.  For those of you who worked on the yearbook staff in school, imagine that times a zillion!  Alas, the end is in sight.  Attached is a sneak peek at some of the photo pages.  Will let you know once an exact release date is known.  Spring is all I know at this point.  Thank you, again, for helping make this happen.
