There have been several people who've thought about doing this, but nothing has come of it. Division 21 of APA did a "biographies" book a few years back which is a nice start to doing a history. Harold VanCott did a nice overview of the decades since 1940 and what was happening in each. He and I talked about a book for several years, but got too busy.

I also took the set of photos owned by the HFES (and which Steve Casey holds onto) and scanned them in to my computer with the thought that I'd annotate them and upload them to the web for use in HF classes . . . [Can we get access to these?]
