Book Earns Award; Another May Date I was surprised to learn last night that Shipbuilders, Sea Captains and Fishermen was awarded the Virginia Marie Folkins Award, which is presented by the Association of King County Historical Organizations to the author of an outstanding historical publication. Thanks to AKCHO and its members! (Full disclosure: I'm VP of the AKCHO board.)

I also neglected to list another May presentation of my book. I'll be at the Des Moines Historical Society meeting on May 23 at 7 p.m. The society meets at the Oddfellows Hall, Marine View Drive and 7th Avenue in Des Moines. See you there!
