Vexillologically yours, Deborah
Nov 12th, 2008 by Deborah Hendrick
Now would be a good time to sign up for the RSS feed from The Daily Flag.
Last week I took a small vacation from The Daily Flag, and during that time I made major business decisions about The Daily Flag and Flags Bay.
I will continue to write for The Daily Flag, but I am reducing the number of articles to one a week, maybe two, which will include occasional book reviews, too.
More than half the people who come to TDF are looking for specific information on flag protocol and etiquette, and I need to make changes on the website so that information is easier to find.
One of the serendipitous consequences of writing at TDF is that I have developed two book ideas which I never would have known about or considered, were it not for TDF and the research required to write here. I don’t know if these ideas are viable, but I am devoting more time to them. That means trips to distant libraries, because the information I am looking for is not found on the Internet.
I would tell you what the book ideas are, but I cannot (unless you are a book publisher reading here—then one book is an undertold story in American vexillology, and the other idea is about a flag whose mysterious origin, I believe, is deeply buried in one of the oldest and most beloved works in all of English literature. Write me at deborah@flagsbay.com).
Until next week, I remain vexillologically yours, Deborah.
The flag image shown above was adapted from a U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs 1984 Veterans Day poster. The name of the artist is not available presently, but I’m on the hunt. Isn’t it a beautiful painting!
Sounds exciting! Go for it!
Thank you Dave. I’ve never tackled a project this big so I appreciate your encouragement.
I love this flag painting also. And, as Dave wrote–GO FOR IT.—- Linda in the windy Texas Panhandle.
Linda, I started today
