*West Family Update - Honoring JAW*



Hello Friends,

Zeke West here, writing you on behalf of the West family. Its been quite
some time since we last sent anything to you all and with today being
John's (would be) 87th birthday, it seems like the right occasion to reach
out.

Since he passed there hasn't been a day where his memory and legacy hasn't
touched us all, and these sentiments are particularly palpable today while
reflecting on his sardonic wit, endless supply of often hilarious and
enlightening stories, and encouragement to follow our own paths. As we send
out our thoughts and best wishes across the veil we are reminded of the
support so many of you provided through some of the most difficult times
over the past few years. Thank you all! And as the saying goes: it takes a
village. You all make one hell of a village!

Since last year's WestFest we have all been diligently working on a long
list of projects, both on the property here as well as revivifying the
online presence of his work.  With the help of close friends, work
continues on a long discussed update, expansion and re-titling of one of
his books.

Westhenge was the name he dubbed our several acres nestled in the foothills
of the Catskill mountains here in upstate New York. On this property we
have maintained the house where Zoe and I grew up, and have been renovating
the writers studio/cabin he affectionately called his "bookstye" where he
spent most of his days when not traveling. While we are endeavoring to
retain the rustic style he so loved, efforts are being made to add some
comforts and beautification that we hope he would appreciate. And before
you ask, don't worry, his library has been moved to a safe location and
that may be the foundation of another project down the road. Once completed
we will be promoting it via one of the popular rental services but whoever
is interested in spending some time there please don't hesitate to reach
out to us.

John had always marked his true birthday with the publishing of his first
short story; he was as proud of his literary career as he was of pushing
back against the establishment and fighting entrenched ideology. Through
many different media he produced hundreds of hours of material.  We are
doing what we can to consolidate as much of it as possible and provide a
platform where it is more accessible and easily navigated. While the final
form of this is still coming together, we are aiming for something publicly
accessible by this time next year.

Of the many books he authored, a re-branding and updating of his popular
but dated Traveler's Key to Ancient Egypt was a project he was very keen
on. John recognized that times have changed and what was needed now was a
new more comprehensive book including the many new discoveries and
revelations from both inside and outside Egypt that lend further credence
to his symbolist view of Ancient Egypt, something he was very passionate
about. We are excited to announce that with the help of a very close family
friend and some colleagues this project which has been underway since
before John's illness will be published. The book goes well beyond the
scope of a guide book and is intended for a much broader audience. We are
aiming for a release date in July of 2020.

For all of you who were able to make it to WestFest in 2018 and were
looking forward to another one after talk of making it an annual event, we
are sorry. With everything going on this year absorbing available time and
resources we just couldn't make it a reality for 2019. That being said, we
are eager to get another event organized and with a bit of luck 2020 will
see the triumphant return of WestFest.  The last one was certainly a
gathering that would have made John proud, and that is a tradition that
bears repeating!

Again, Thank you all, more updates to come, hopefully sooner rather than
later!

All the very best,
The Wests

PS. It is impossible for us to recall and insure that everyone who might be
interested in these updates receive them, that said please feel free to
send this on to anyone/everyone you feel would like to be in the know.
