Subject: [Baren 18171] Fireman's Benefit Show 

Well folks, the time is getting very near the opening of the Fireman's
Benefit Show in Tampa, FL.  The show officially opens on June 1st, but I'll
begin hanging next weekend.
The director for the Hillsborough County library system has also said she
wants to see the show and possibly book it as a travelling show for the
entire library system.
What an event.  There are supposed to be print media, TV and radio covering
the event.  The library director and I thought it would be nice to present
the fire chief and the police chief with an honorary print, hence the TV
folk.
So, I splurged today and went out and bought twenty nice metal frames with
glass for all the prints.  It sure does make a difference, they look so
nice.  Of course my pocketbook is $200.00 lighter, but it's for a good cause
and they look so much nicer.
Well, wish me luck and I'll take plenty of pictures.

And Charles

I've been wondering the price this book isn't  any higly commercial 
product because it costs very little when compared to how thick it 
is hard cover nice paper and lot of good colour pictures and well 

written But probably there has been grants and other kind of support

so it can be sold with so low price
