We’re going to the museum!
Yes indeed, the Japanese American National Museum (JANM) in downtown Los Angeles
We’ve been invited to talk about the book as part of the museum’s 2011 program series.
“I gave the book to a reviewer who read it and REALLY liked it,” e-mailed JANM Program Director Koji Sakai. “And of course, (Professor) Art (Hansen) loved it too. I looked it over as well and would be honored to have you come down and do a reading/talk.”
My reaction was, “I’m honored to be invited by such a well-respected museum!”
The exact date of our program, whether it takes place on Saturday, June 18 (Father’s Day weekend), or Saturday, June 25 or Saturday, August 27, is a decision we need you to help us decide. Why? Because we want you to participate that day. If you enjoyed the three book launch reunions, or especially if you missed them, this event will be the BIGGEST of the Lompoc reunions.

Not only will there be a program at the museum, but soon, probably about December 1, Vanished will appear on the shelf at the JANM store.
Not only that, but the Santa Maria
Response has been so overwhelming that the first printing of Vanished has been exhausted. The second printing should be completed by Wednesday, November 24, but shipping will be delayed due to Thanksgiving weekend.
All this is good. Better than that: GREAT, hectic but great.
Thank you everybody for your support.
