Z Students review ancestry in book By Scott Starnes ' Of The Print Positive vibes and whole hearted determination enabled 28 College students, two illus trators and their editor to pub lish their recent book "Leaves from Family Trees". The 28 authors of the book were students in Elizabeth Ry an's community education writ ing family history class. There was a great deal of interest gen erated amongst each student concerning their personal ex periences and family hand-me- down experiences, said Marcia Baisch, College continuing edu cation assistant. "The book is basically a bi centennial tribute which reflects each author's personal historical experiences and experiences which may have occurred dur ing their past family's life times," she said. "The book covers approximately 200 years time." Baisch said that Ryan orga nized the group of authors and acted as their editor. "The students really got into writing the book feeling that they could use their compiled knowledge as a positive and con structive contribution for the surrounding area," Baisch said. The group of authors is com prised mostly of elderly stu dents from the local area and from Rose VillaVraj Milwaukie retirement center, Baisch said. "The class was held at Rose Villa." As the students completed the contents of their book it was then ready to be sent to the publisher, Baisch said.

Much of the money needed for publishing expenditures was donated by the authors and their families," Baisch said. After the book sells and pays for itself in terms of publishing expenses, any additional profit from the book will be given to the College, Baisch said. "When these students took on this operation, they had no de sire to make the publication a personal profit endeavor. They have no desire or intention to collect the royalties personally received from the book," Baisch said. reaches fruition By Jim McCaffrey Of The Print "Leaves from Family Trees" contains such stories as a father and daughter who were captured by Indians during the Revolu tion, to a personal account of the bombardment of the USS Ten nessee during the Japanese in- vasion of Pearl Harbor, Baisch said.
