Day 386: Penny and Pat

At Penelope this morning, Pat presented the first copy of the book, William B. Cushing in the Far East, authored by her husband and that she edited.  It has been a 13 year process.  Her husband began writing it in 2000, but has had two strokes and other health issues over the years.  She has done the editing, writing to get permission to use the photos, and all the promoting.  Finally, she found a publisher and carried on all the correspondence with them for the past two years as they ushered the book into final form.  What an achievement!

Penny's poem about her surgery was illustrated by her t-shirt adorned with angel's wings!

They also helped me with the title, but I am not sure yet how I will proceed.
