Dear CFA Members and Friends,
NEWS FLASH:
Help needed for the new
Descendants of John Cogswell” book
Most of
you are aware that Don Cogswell is working on an update of his initial book
entitled “Descendants of John
Cogswell” (Donald James Cogswell,
1998, published by Family Line Publications, 65 E. Main St., Westminster,
MD), and you still may be able to find a copy out there. Many of us have a
copy of this book. Don Cogswell is now working hard to update this second
book, as a lot has happened in our family since 1998.
As this
effort wraps up, we now need to decide how to distribute this book,
which has now grown to approximately 4700 pages! How is be best way to
distribute this book? A DVD is kind of impersonal, but a three volume book
will be very expensive! It’ll take us a while to determine the best
distribution option.
We were talking about this the other day
at our Quarterly CFA BOD Meeting, and we thought that perhaps there is
someone in our Association that has experience in publishing and printing.
So I told the Board that I would send an email out to the members and ask.
This request does not
require a huge commitment, on your behalf, if you have this experience. We
are looking for someone that knows the industry, and can advise us on the
best approach. So, in a way, we are looking for a SME (Subject Matter
Expert). If you have this experience, please contact me. We can talk about
this, and I’ll get you in touch with Pat Cogswell, who is leading the
Committee for this project.
Thanks for your time.
