Robinson's book Onward and Upward, 2004 - 2007

Cover letter on April 9, 2007 about Collins role in facilitating the publication of this book. Hand-written contemporaneous notes by Collins beginning July 10, 2004 about conversations with Ike, REM, Mary Etta Skeen, Ann Robinson about dividing work--initially we thought book should be organized by major topics to move away from its having been written like a diary. Several lists were produced, but on trial runs of cutting and pasting there was insufficient text to justify changing organization of book by year; By late July it was apparent Ike could not participate in editing, so Mary Etta accepted REM edits if she thought they would have been accepted by Ike; by 3 August we had given up on major topics notion, after Ike's death Ann R agreed we should finish as best we could, and Jane Tugurian hoped Mary Etta would work next 3-6 months to finish; REM note of August 10 to Ann R, copied to RDC; letters from REM on Aug 20 and 24 about organizational issues; RDC's notes about conversations with Jane Tugurian and her concerns about the manuscript.
