Dick Westwood, whose fascinating book “Riverman” (about his uncle Elwyn Blake’s USGS river trips on the San Juan, Green and Colorado) is new on the bookstands, showed up at our fall meeting. He’s now writing a book about Georgie and, if you have any stories, journals, movies or remembrances of her, he wants to talk to you now. Get in touch with Dick at:

   Christa Sadler is putting together a book of boatman’s tales, as told by the boatmen. Have you written any? Would you like to? They should not overly toot your own horn, have minimal jargon, be clear, well written and entertaining (which doesn’t necessarily mean funny). Deadline is February 1. Contact her after Dec. 30th at:
P. O. Box 22130
