Longtime APA member Gordon Rouze has advised that he’s decided to hangup the composing stick at last. His shop has been acquired by another person in the Houston letterpress community, and by request Gordon is being promoted to Tramp status in APA.
The resulting membership vacancy will be filled by the next applicant on the waiting list.
Hail and Farewell Gordon, we were honored to have you among us.
Sky Shipley

I just added a new page to the APA-Letterpress website for posting photos of the annual Wayzgoose for all to see. I have posted the 120 photos that John Deason, #789 sent out via email to everyone in the APA.
The new page can be found by CLICKING HERE
If anyone else has pictures to be added to the site, you can email them to me directly at lance@lwwilliams.com. Please reduce your pictures to less than 800×600 pixels for a smaller attachment size. I will probably reduce them to about 640×480 for display & storage. Everyone’s group of pictures will be presented in it’s own gallery.
