Wedged somewhere in between the clouds and the trees, John Boeddeker goes to work. His office atop a 120 foot crane he stands alongside "Old Glory" which he proudly flies in memory of 9/11. His job, he tracks a little white golf ball as it travels between blue sky and a host of clouds. Bo, as he's known on the tour, has released a new book - a coffee table book titled "My Office Window." It's filled with aerial images high above of some of the greatest golf venues on tour. "The Players"-TPC Sawgrass; "Arnold Palmer Invitational" - Bay Hill; "The US Open" - Pinehurst No.2; and many more, all captured during tournament play. This coffee table book came about by accident Boeddeker says, while taking short breaks from golf coverage he began snapping still photos from his enviable perch above the action. With the encouragement of family and friends and with the support of NBC Sports, Boeddeker partnered with "Samsung Telecommunications of America" and "Blurb Publishing" as well as securing agreements with both the PGA TOUR and the USGA, this photo book is now available for purchase. "My Office Window," By John G. Boeddeker, is a large 40 pages of landscape, full-color photographs. Priced at only $39.99 with a portion of the proceeds going to the "Wounded Warrior Project".

Two Ropes is a carefully written true story about how a young Negro family realized success with the combined support derived from quiet friendships between Blacks and Whites existing in their strongly segregated hometown. Bernard and Shirley Robinson participated in constructive efforts to penetrate and eliminate racial barriers in their Southern hometown by successfully integrating their respective local university and high school. Their successes were aided by key quiet friendships and collaborations between Negro and Caucasian supporters. In those days, open friendships between Whites and Negro people were not politically healthy for anyone and could even be dangerous. Two Ropes reveals and honors some of those risky friendships in an illustrative and inspirational manner. The book is an easy read, making the point of how much greater America could be if all Americans were free to associate and contribute to the best of their innate abilities without prejudice.
