trautsman - 2013-04-03 9:36 PM I wouldn't mind having a look,if they are going to the four corners of the Earth so to speak(oh Yes I know I know the earth is roundish and not flat with corners,Its just an expression).Now where we're we,ah yes ,I'd love a look,I even think they'd love to come to God's zone (New Zealand)

I'm just going to drop this one in the little blue police box in my backyard.  You should see it sometime last month.  Or 2027...

As you see more content in these books take a photo and send it to me so I can post it in the album!
Better weather ahead (for the Northern Hemisphere) means more gatherings and opportunities!

PM replied.

I've added to the book in my possession the 4 mylar logos seen in the photo(s) below. I'm also including a CD-ROM containing the files that can be used to create them in both PDF and EPS formats.

For those wanting to download electronic copies of these files in vector format, they can be obtained from:

Adamas Logo (PDF, EPS)
Ovation Logo (PDF, EPS)

For the fun of it, I stuck one of each of the logos in chrome to one of the inside pages.

I should note that I am putting this artwork in the public domain with no rights reseved by me whatsoever. IOW, anyone can use them for whatever purpose they desire. If you want to use them commercially, I suggest you contact KMC directly to make sure you obtain permission/licensing from them as they are the copyright holder of both logos.

Dan

The book projects were fun.
The only problem was that we always reached that weak link in the chain.
And that's too bad.
The book that went through my hands had some really interesting things written in it by members that had it before me.
I think the end game was to have them end up at the Mothership.

.
the Mothership.... sigh.

Location: SoCal		I think what Mike is doing with pics in an album is excellent...even if you read it when you got a book, there are the other books, as well as comments after it left you. I have my own softbound so if I can see the pics of comments, I don't need to have a book sent to me. However, I handed off the book at one of Matt & Davis workshops without signing it...MtnBikerFred said later he signed it for me. Would like to know what he said. Thanks.

However, as there is no 'mothership' (except in our memories), where are the books going to end up? I find it interesting that there is a display of an Elite in the New Hartford airport (per a photo in at least one of the news articles of the closing). What will come of that guitar? If the display remains, maybe one of the books in the display with the guitar. If the display is to be removed, maybe one of the local OFC'ers could check if their is a local museum (not sure how close Patch is but he was often at the factory, closer than us on the West Coast).

Location: SoCal		As to the guitar at the airport, one of books, etc., has there been any thought about a fundraiser for the 'former' employees that have helped us in so many years (Ovation, Adamas, Hamer)?

An aside, cheap and easy to create a non-profit where donations could be tax deductible. Physical items (i.e., guitar, amp, etc.) could be listed on OFC with proceeds paid to the non-profit. Remember, a lot our posts end up on the internet which itself creates visibility.

I am pretty sure that I could find a guitar that would be appropriate. Maybe something from the 1718-X Garris prototype to an Adamas. Which guitar would be determined by how much Scotch I had in my system.
