The Journal I have is just over 200 pages - with pictures and the bullitin from that Easter service. The three month account is startling vivid, he pulled no punches on what it was REALLY like there, and in fact shared so much that I was revited until the final page. I will have it published at some point in time...and have a friend who is going to help me through this process. If anyone remembers my Dad, you can write me or call. I'll keep you posted on the Journal...
