Ateo and Terry, thank you both and all the other Nomads who helped get this project completed or perhaps I should say started as I think there could be more projects ahead.

Great to hear the mail comes through! That's one government program that works... although way too expensive!

Cool... yes, everyone who helped us by ordering in September got all three author's signed copies... I have about a dozen left with all three... After that, bring your book to our Power Point shows or get one from us in person, there.

I am happy to sign any by request... once these I still have are gone, just ask!

On our Facebook page, I just added the COLOR images of the flags and coat of arms for Spain and Mexico and the Catholic Orders during the California mission period... some are in the book, but not in color.

See them at http://facebook.com/oldmissions

It just arrived a couple of days ago.

I'll keep it in the car for a while so I can bring it by David's for a personal autograph and inscription, next time I'm near his house.

(If it's OK with DK)

What's New?


As of today, Discover Baja Travel Club is selling our new book! Members typically get a discount, and anyone can go there and buy their books and maps...

So, if you haven't yet ordered one or want to avoid the mailing charge and are in San Diego County, go over to Discover Baja (in the Sprouts shopping center on Governor Drive, just east of R e g e n t s Rd. (north of Hwy. 52, between I-5 & 805).

Remember that this book covers ALL the California missions, not just Baja!

Mission #20 (the one founded right after San Diego de Alcalá) is in Carmel, near Monterey Bay...

Guess what???

I looked inside, and all three signatures were on the second page.
Thanks, David, Erline and Max!

California's Missions


We've read countless mission books, have more than a few, but yours is like an old friend - something you enjoy sitting down with, in a comfortable chair and a glass of wine (L A Cetto I must admit).

I appreciate the kind words and signatures of the three of you.

Nice work, made easier when it is also a passion.

John and Barb

IF anyone who has ordered a book did not get it, please let me know via u2u or email to the book's email oldmissions*AT*gmail.com Those who were in on the pre-publication special all had their books mailed out by Oct. 1, and should have received them that first week in October. Books were mailed First Class with tracking. Those orders received after Oct. 1 had their books mailed once I got notified by PayPal that the check was received.

Thank you... and it would be great to hear from you who have had a chance to scan through or read it!

I still have a few of the limited copies with all three author signatures... Once they are gone, you will need to come to a book signing to get Max's autograph... mine?, heck, just ask and I will add it to any I mail out from here.

Thank you very much!
