Dr. William Kellar of WHK was the Project Historian for a team which prepared archives and a book covering the first twenty years, 1978-1997, history of PT&P. Dr. Joseph Pratt of the University of Houston served as Project Editor. Kellar conducted extensive interviews with current and former customers and employees and lead the effort of sorting through the many documents, photographs and stories about experiences many of us shared. PT&P will publish the book in 1998. A big “thank you” to Bill and all who contributed to this project. Happy reading to all!
