I hate video editing. Must be my natural bias toward newspapers and the printed word.

I do this so rarely that I have to re-train myself about which cord connects to which color of PC jack insert. Where is 15-year-old daughter Hannah when you need her? She has been the techie guru in our house since her toddling days. She learned to make the clock quit flashing on the VCR before she could even pronounce VHS. (It was not Beta; we're not that old.)

I'm really glad that I listened to publisher Charlie Hughes when he convinced me to pack my video camera along with all my other gear when I flew to California to meet Della and tour Catalina Island.

I hope to launch a few brief segments from the interview with Charlie Root's daughter. But I finally re-trained myself and got one part edited and uploaded to You Tube -- I will really be cool to daughters Rachel and Hannah now that I have "mastered" You Tube.

Once you see this little 2 1/2 minute interview with Della, I think you'll understand why the book is "a baseball love story" and why baseball history needs some serious updating regarding the winningest pitcher for the Chicago Cubs.
