If you can't get a hard copy of this morning's Seattle Times article on Fred Beckey, here is the link: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/134647956_beckey07m.html The one-hour interview on TVW will be broadcast at 9:00 p.m. on TVW, which is channel 23 in most areas (or check the cable listings at www.tvw.org) The audio portion of the interview is currently available at the www.tvw.org website (go to the bottom of the page and click on the "Author's Hour" link). As for the person on this board who asked why The Mountaineers didn't publish this book, you will have to listen to the interview to find out Fred's answer when I asked him that same question. Yes, I am the interviewer. Your (constructive) critiques are welcome. --Steve Jones
