Our next-door neighbor is a retired Dow-Corning PhD chemist. When he is not on photo safari [Canon shooter] in Africa or South America or the American Southwest, he works as a motivational speaker and professional magician. He is writing a book describing/detailing a few of the tricks he has invented and for which he is internationally known. For the last five years he has been working on The Book. He still has a long way to go. And a very patient publisher waiting for the product. I have had a couple of books published and doubt if they would have ever happened if I didn't have motivated co-editors/co-authors. It helps to have colleagues encouraging one-another along. stan -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
