Wilson Bingham Book Progress Report - March 200

Hello again everyone. Time for another update and a reminder that I will be needing all of your biographies and autobiographies by March 31st. The idea is to document your life and those of your ancestors and descendants. I'm asking that you do it in at least one full page of text per person you write about (or a corresponding amount of audio if submitting a cassette recording). However, as you get closer to the present day with your descendants, their life histories will obviously be shorter, so don't worry about filling an entire page with, say, your 2 year old grandson's life.

You can submit these to me however you like, whether it be by postal mail, on a tape cassette, via e-mail, or using Google Docs. If you have any questions, please let me know.

I've also prepared an online calendar for everyone to refer to so that you can see the tasks that are ahead of us. If the March 31st deadline is met by everyone, then I will have the materials I need to simply edit and rearrange the text and then typeset it.

Just click the icon below to see the calendar. I've also summarized the major events in the timeline below.
