Barbara was often there as well, working on her own book as a pilot which was later published by 10 Speed. The tragedy of their both dying together, passengers in a tiny plane not dissimilar from Barbara's own, and just months after they moved to Bishop was horrendous for everyone who knew them. That it happened just before their books were published made it worse. When it went out of print, I republished under my own Welcome Books imprint. The 2nd larger, more expansive edition was made possible by both Peter Beren and Mountain Light's (Galen's gallery in Bishop) kindness. Random House does distribute Welcome Books but did not actually publish California The Beautiful. The only thing I regret is not putting Peter's name on the cover under Galen's.
