The time has come to choose who will be included in the cabinet and I wish I had room for more than just 3 people! The picture to the right shows everything I have to work with arranged in piles (mostly). Click on it for the big picture. Of course, I want to include all the most intriguing stuff, but the intriguing stuff doesn’t fall neatly into only 3 stories. My plan, at this stage, is to document all the stories that I find, and then enlist some innocent observers and guide my choice by their reactions. I’m trying not to entertain thoughts about creating more drawers (current plan: 3 stories x 6 drawers = 18 drawers) than I had planned, but… In any case, the most important thing right now is to focus on getting the groups together so I can photograph them and then layout the book. Perhaps I will present all the stories to Paul to see what his take as an educated outside observer might be. I have to get the book design to him in short order, anyway. I’m going to get the book bound at Grossenbacher to match the cabinet and they need a good deal of turnaround time. I present this darn thing in less than two weeks! Eek!
