One of the unanticipated challenges I’ve faced while putting together the book has been in what order the chapters should run. I didn’t want to do some kind of pecking order. An alphabetical arrangement would have been easy, but it seemed a bit trite somehow. What to do?
Wait — I’ve got it! Enter everyone’s name into a spreadsheet, add a corresponding ascending list of numbers, then randomize the numbers. Which has been done.
So without further ado, presented here for the first time is the book’s running order of chapters:
Terry Taylor
Joe Taylor
Sim Wilson
Jim Wisner
Nancyjo Mann
Glenn Holland
Mike Stand
Derri Daugherty
Marie McGilvray
Steve Taylor
Chris Duke
Caesar Kalinowski
Kris Klingensmith
John McNamara
Mike Roe
Jeff Crandall
Dawn Wisner-Johnson
Jim Nicholson
Bill Walden
Steve Hindalong
Dan Hohulin
Gary Olson
Mick Donner
Kemper Crabb
Steve Crumbacher
Sean Doty
And now, back to proofreading and editing and all that fun stuff.
Seems like a great order, Terry should be number one… imho!
It was by happenstance, but it works. Like I said, I wanted to avoid any kind of artificial order, and I definitely wanted to avoid a pecking order since everyone in the book has a story that’s worth reading.
Awesome. Looking forward to this, Jerry.
