Back in February I went on a weekend retreat in New Market, Virginia, and obtained this book above. A few weeks ago I took it down from the shelf and decided to read over it again. A couple days ago I picked it up again thinking to myself, “I bet some folks in the Gulf States would like a copy.” Then the publication date hit me. August 15th, 1969. I imagine that it was originally created for air force pilots going to Vietnam, yet the date is what I couldn’t get over. Two days after it’s original publication was when the last major hurricane hit the Gulf States, Hurricane Camille, which ravaged the area 36 years and two weeks ago.
Right now I am making a rendering using NASA’s MODIS Rapidfire satellite imagery. I think it will turn out nicely. I should put it up for sale to raise some money…
