order of service
upon hearing that my Grandfather's order of service
would be a photocopy, i immediately began designing something
finer and more fitting. layed out electronically the morning
of the 16th, after work I bicycled to Somerville, MA to work
with John Kristensen at Firefly
Press to set the text on the Linotype. While
John keyed and cast,
I set about hand setting the cover. we proofed and ran the job
later that evening, finishing at 1:30am. i am indebted to John
for his friendship and expertise. They were FedEx'd the next
afternoon, for the service in St. Louis the 17th.
