The production of this book was a series of fortunate coincidences that happen in life, some folks call them miracles. Research for the book "Reminiscences & Reflections" began in 1996 with Hanover College Students under the tutelage of history professor Ruth Turner interviewing former employees and folks that were removed from the JPG. We had possibly 50 audio tapes that Ron Harsin computerized so that we could listen and transcribe the interviews. One hour of interviewing required about 10 hours of transcription. The next small miracle ocurred when Historic Hoosier Hills Director, Terry Stephenson applied for a grant to the Rising Sun Community Foundation and they granted the request. The grant was renewed for four years until Mike Moore decided to continue with the interviews and typing. It took another three years to transcribe all the interviews, then we signed a contract with the Trafford Publishing Company. Then the technical phase began. Mike Moore formatted the photographs at 300 dots per inch for publication. Ken Knouf reviewed the passages for punctuation and spelling errors and finally 600 books were delivered to the offices of Ken Knouf at the Big Oaks National Wildlife Refuge. The Madison Courier wrote a review in the March 2, 2011 issue and the Jefferson County History Center graciously sponsored a book signing event.
