Apologies...a couple
phone calls--shock at Ed's death-- reminded us that you deserve a
little more information about the final days of Ed Sepulveda, a
dedicated FOL leader whom we have all come to know and appreciate over
the past five years.
Ed
suffered a massive stroke in the second week of December, and was
air-lifted to Las Vegas. The stroke caused a complete paralysis
on his right side, and Ed could not speak. Before therapy could
be arranged, Ed had a second stroke, on the other side of his
brain. With near complete paralysis, and little hope of recovery,
Cindy made the difficult decision to move Ed to Hospice, in Las Vegas,
where he was kept as comfortable as possible.
He died, with Cindy at his side, on Monday, January 2nd.
As you have read in Donna Lee's message, Ed's memorial service will be on Tuesday,
January 10th, at St. Martin's Episcopal Church, 631 West Irene.
Our attendance will speak to our appreciation of this wonderful man!
Donna Lee Laduke, FOL President
Mary Costello, FOL Secretary

Officers: Donna Lee Laduke - President, Steven Johnson - Vice President,
Jan Rider - Treasure, Mary Costello - Recording and Corresponding Secretary
Librarian’s Report: Susan Wonderly
Membership: Bob Alvis

Our
December speaker was Jo A. Wilkins, an experienced author and publisher from
Henderson. Mrs. Wilkins is founder and CEO of two publishing
groups: 1) Mystic Publishers, a very economical guide to the
author who chooses to self-publish his/her works; and 2)
Nightfall Publications, a full, traditional publishing company.
Her lively presentation was very factual, with special emphasis on the
need to use competent editors, and hints regarding the marketing of
your book. A successful writer needs to read two books: for
non-fiction, The A P Manual of Style, and for fiction, The Chicago
Manual of Style.
