Here is an update
from Tribute Volunteer Larry Sterling, '79 who is working on our
Tribute Book:
------------------
Hello
All,
There will be a Tribute Book distributed to all guests
at the Warren King Tribute. I'm getting together with two of my old
friends to personally congratulate Warren on his accomplishments
by purchasing a testimonial page in the Tribute book. All proceeds
from sales of these pages will go directly to the Warren King
Foundation Scholarship Fund. I hope that you will also purchase a
page to express your feelings about Warren in print, for Warren and
all of your fellow alumni to see.
And if you own or work for
a business, please consider advertising in the Tribute Book or
printing a testimonial or congratulatory
message.
Four page sizes are available: -
Business
card
$100.00 (just supply a card) - 1/2
page
$300.00 - Full
page
$500.00 - Two page
spread
$900.00
This is a challenge from Larry Sterling Class of '79,
to all of you out there who were inspired by Warren King. Let him
know how you feel. I'm buying a page. You can too!
Your
support of the Warren King Foundation will help to send two
graduating Southern California high school seniors to college each
year to study photography, and help to continue Warren's legacy of
excellence for many years to come.
Please contact me A.S.A.P.
to arrange for your tribute page. Just a few days left before we
close the book....
Thank you,

Foundation. The Foundation will fund the Warren King Foundation
Scholarship, which will provide deserving high school photography
students with college scholarships. This will be a perpetual
scholarship, funded by an endowment based on your contributions and

More details at http://www.phototeach.com/scholarship.htm

have not registered on the web site, you will not receive an
invitation (see below)

registered on the tribute web site, now is the time. We can't mail
you an invitation unless you have provided your street address, so
no registration, no invitation. The registration screen is at http://www.phototeach.com/register.htm

(sculpture, painting, design, anything) feel free to post images of
your work. The Gallery is located on the Tribute web site at http://www.phototeach.com/gallery.htm
Submitting images to the Gallery is as easy as pressing a button.
However, you will first need a scan of your image. You can scan it
yourself or you can obtain a scan at a local lab or copy shop.
Ideally, the scan should be 72 DPI, 1024 pixels in the longest
dimension, RGB, saved as a JPEG file at the highest quality. If this
is all gibberish to you, print this page and take it to a lab/copy
center with your prints or slides, and show them the specs. Images
will be selected from the Gallery for presentation in a multimedia
show to be aired at the Tribute and may be printed in the Tribute
book.
