  • It is my pleasure to bring the forums to you.

I just talked to Author Howland Blackiston no more than 190 minutes ago and he informed me that MANY MEMBERS participated and one member's photo will be in the covetted CENTER COLOR PHOTO SECTION - a great place to want to be.

I hope that person comes foreward or PMS me to keep it a secret (unless everyone knows but me - lol) a FEMALE in the forum is a Color Centerfold!!! Ummmm Color Centerfold :)

My old COVER Image will now be in the CENTER COLOR ALSO along with 5 other images I think. I wish Howland GREAT SUCESS for he has extessively update the book over the 2001 version. Everything new is in there I assume or at least the over all book has added a lot of info that is more up to date then the 2001 original version. Just a suggestion, I'm sure after talking here for neearly an hour on the book an other things - he really likes the forum, just a bit intimidated by the forums learning curve.

Oh, we will see Beemaster.com in the book with a NICE intro by Howland concerning our site! Just some cool news. So whoever got the centerfold section, congratulations - I'll know today who it is, I just haven't heard yet :)

Awe, come on!!!  Who is it?  I think John said it was female.  Now there isn't that many females in our forum, it was not me.  I didn't submit any photos to him.  Personally, I cannot stand suspense, so let's get this cat out of the bag, hee, hee!!!  Have a wonderful, awesome life and day, health.  CIndi

Howland hasn't qrote me back, but it is a woman and she will have a CENTERFOLD COLOR SECTION placement for her image.

I'm pleased that WHEREVER it says John Clayton it also says BEEMASTER.COM there too :)

I ended with 5 photos all from the first edition - the new cover is suppose to be a generic shot, in my world - seems like a "Typical" shot chosen by the pubishers.

I swear that is all I know  :-*

Well darn it isn't me either so I am curious also who it is.  But I did contribute many suggestions to Howland and he wrote back to me and said many of my suggestions made it into his new book. That was wonderful to hear that.  Can't wait for the new book.

Face it Johnny You'd be bragging in every post you made.   :-D  But I think nothing has been said due to a prior to publication release restriction agreement.

I think that Brian B. is right, it is a release restriction, awaiting until the book is published. There are lots of stupid loophills in laws.

BTW.  It was not me, I didn't enter any pictures to Howland for his picture choice for his book.  The mystery thickens, now, who sent their pictures to Howland?  (female, they say, hee, hee).  Beautiful day, greatest of life, health.  Cindi

I'm complimented that anyone would think it was me, but I didn't even know about the contest, much less enter it!  Can't wait to find out who it is - wonder if it is Becky from Colorado - her pictures are BEAUTIFUL (2wheeler, I think is her name on this forum.)

Linda, I looked at Becky's site, I am going to look more at it when I have a bit of time.

2-Wheeler on this forum is David Broberg. From Boulder, Colorado.   I see that he is a contributor to her site, so I am imagining that he is her Husband.  He is the active member of our forum, while she is the blog keeper.  Don't know how else to say it.  That is very cool though, Husband and Wife, like Woodchopper and Rienbeau.  Get a kick out of that, and love it.  Has Becky ever posted on our forum?  She probably has, but I just haven't noticed, you are very observant.  Have that most wonderful, great and awesome day, Cindi
