Hello Vee I must applaud you for working so hard on your project. You started what looked like a monumental job and are sticking with it, already picturing it in book form for you to enjoy. Certainly hope that I will get motivated to do the same with the chapters of my life written several years ago, and presently sitting in binders on the bookshelf.
