As Gail’s sister, I’m thrilled to be a small part of making his adventures available to interested readers. I’m fairly new to blogging, so this might not be as smooth as it could be; sorry. You’ll find the Prologue (GO THERE FIRST!), Index, Footnotes, and Glossary in the “Pages” at the right, also accessible from the tabs above, and his stories will appear as one document in the next post. About the footnotes: Gail spent days italicizing the words in the story to refer to them, but the italics all disappeared when I imported the document. I hope we can fix this. Right now, I fear the Index will be meaningless, until I can figure out how to paginate the stories, which may not be possible. However, it should give you a general idea of where in the manuscript you can find the individual pieces. Go here: http://loel.smugmug.com/Photography/gails-photos-aden/4649013_The5Z#377466748_6Axbe to view the photos that accompany the stories; you can choose the size at which you want to see them, or run a slide show. You will also be able to purchase prints. I hope to make Gullible’s Travels available as a book, as hard copy and as an e-book, and will announce that here when it happens. Meanwhile, HAPPY READING! I hope you enjoy his tales as much as I have. (Photo is of Gail and me in Lawrence KS, circa 1954.)
