Friends With Books

When FFP and I move downtown, we are going to have lots of bookshelves and while we are downsizing the collection of books, I plan a little section for 'books friends wrote.' Last night we went to a signing for a book by flag collector and relatively new Austinite Pete Keim (shown) and his son Kevin Keim, who is Director of the Charles Moore House here. Pete has an amazing collection of U.S. Flags and the pair collaborated with Jacob Termansen, a design and architecture photographer from Denmark, to produce a beautiful book, A Grand Old Flag.

Shown getting a book signed is Mildred Witte, a commissioner with the Texas Commission on the Arts. The event was on the patio of the hip Hotel San Jose on South Congress.
