Shout out to Greg Oliver for compiling this salute to our dear friend Jamie Hemmings. Jamie did so much to support those of us in the wrestling writers community. I miss her a lot. Very cool seeing another departed friend, JJ Maguire, included in the book.

I neglected to post my Society for International Hockey Research column where I talked with historian Paul White about his various books, including the hockey history of Owen Sound and London, Ontario. Better late than never! sihrhockey.org/2020/columns/a…

I got my copy of "Howdy, Neighbor!: Stan “Plowboy” Frazier and his Appetite for Life" written by Kurt Nielsen, which I edited & laid out for him. It's a fun, unique book, proving that Frazier was way more than just Uncle Elmer in WWF. Order here: oliverbooks.ca/wrestling-good…

Happy heavenly birthday to Billy Van ... he was born on this day on August 11, 1934. What better way to celebrate his legacy than ordering the biography I wrote with Stacey Case about his life and times: "Who's The Man? Billy Van!" oliverbooks.ca/whos-the-man-b…
