I need to visit your blog more often.
Wendell, I just found out about your article about the Rosebuds. I can’t access it at the Examiner, do you where it is available online. I heard about the team when I was checking on stuff about Artie Wilson. I would really like to read about them. Are you still doing a book on the Rosebuds or the WCBA, if so I am looking forward to reading it. Thanks for your time.
Sincerely,
Rod Richards

Thanks for the line Rod….
Yes, I am still producing the manuscript on the WCNBA and am looking forward to the editing process once the NBA season comes to a close.
Getting the research, interviews and writing in actual book form has been a long time coming.
Sorry about the Examiner link by the way. The story on the Rosebuds in PDF and not the easiest to access. But if you want to send me your mailing address, I can send you a copy via snailmail.
Good old snailmail.
Love your site/blog as well…..good stuff.
Appreciate the time Rod and feel free to reach me at maxeyjr@hotmail.com
Best,
