Books, Movies & Photographs: 2008 Recommendations
For many years, Grace and I included book and film recommendations with our annual Christmas greeting. Below are a few suggestions for 2008 that we think are special. This year we are directing friends to this blog site to see what is on the list and by doing so, we are opening up these suggestions to the thousands of readers who stop by for investment information. We hope you enjoy a few book and film ideas from our 2008 list.
A special feature this year includes photos of the family and a few more pictures from our travels. Just click on the word, pictures, for the link to the photographs. Then step through them one at a time.
