Dear Ben,     macOS 10.15 Catalina finally shipped today, and as promised, we've updated our two books on Catalina to version 1.1 to cover the changes since the beta versions. Since you own one of our previous books on upgrading or exploring macOS, you can save 50% when you purchase either or both of these titles.     NOTE: If you already purchased version 1.0 of one of these new Catalina books since they were released at the end of August, you should have received email from me earlier today about how to update to the latest version for free.     Take Control of Upgrading to Catalina is my thirteenth consecutive guide to upgrading to the latest version of macOS. Learn what you need to know to make the process go smoothly and efficiently, and what has changed from previous versions—including how to deal with new gotchas in Catalina that could complicate your upgrade process. Includes troubleshooting advice in case things go wrong! Buy Take Control of Upgrading to Catalina (normally $12.99) for $6.50 or Learn more about this book     Once you've successfully installed Catalina, learn all about it with Take Control of Catalina by Scholle McFarland. This book covers the new features and options in macOS 10.15, and also provides a good overview of the entire operating system. Find out about all the changes to your Mac's apps and system-wide tools, and learn useful tricks that may be not be obvious at first glance. Version 1.1 also includes four new chapters that weren't in the original version 1.0 release. Buy Take Control of Catalina (normally $14.99) for $7.49 or Learn more about this book     Because you purchased a predecessor to of one or both of these books, we are offering you a special price: save 50% off the cover price for either book (or both). We hope you'll take advantage of this special price, and stick around to check out other new and recently updated books. Still more titles are in the works for release in the coming weeks and months.     Cheers, Joe Kissell Publisher, Take Control Books     You are receiving this email because you purchased one or more of our earlier books about macOS or iOS from www.takecontrolbooks.com and opted in to receive announcements of new and updated titles.

Ed,

Are you available to pick this up from Joan? I could deliver the plates and stuff to you on Monday.

Joan, this is terrible news. Please let me know if I can help, although we plan to fly out of her on Wednesday.

Ben,
I have a problem.  Augie has been suffering from pain around his right eye for several weeks.  We finally were able to see his neurologist yesterday and surgery is required.  It has been scheduled for Monday.  I will be seeing my orthopedic Dr on Monday for my next xray and hopefully a release of my brace--at least to unlock it.  Whether that will allow me to drive, I don't know.  The bottom line:  we are just not sure of our status by next Thursday.  Will keep you posted.

Jack Pawson Palmer, I

Endicott - At 87, Jack Pawson Palmer I of Endicott, NY activated the donation of his body to medical science on June 10, 2019. "JP" was born in Ardsley, NY to Inez and Frank Palmer. He graduated from Herbert Smith Technical School in Syracuse, NY and served in the US Navy Reserves. He met and married Mildred Lee Poland in 1951 and together they had three children. He worked for General Electric for twenty years during which time he earned an Electrical Engineering degree from Syracuse University and an MBA from SUNY Binghamton all while remodeling a tiny summerhouse into a five bedroom home. 

He left his managerial position at GE in 1972 to start Palmer Industries, a visionary company where he designed and manufactured outdoor electric vehicles for disabled people worldwide. He was granted numerous patents and employed his wife, Mili who marketed the vehicles and son, Jack Pawson Palmer II, who headed production. His inventions gave handicapped individuals mobility and independence. JP's business was his passion and his greatest achievement; it took him all over the world and kept him busy until the end of his life.

He took flying lessons and earned his commercial pilot's license, was president of Ace Flying Club, president of Union Endicott Band Boosters and a patron of PBS (local WSKG). At 79 he learned to dance and was a regular on Tuesday Night's Swing Dance at Rexer's. He lived life on his own terms, could fix anything, had a fierce intellect and a beaming smile.

He is survived by his wife of 67+ years, Mildred Palmer, son Jack Pawson Palmer II (Barbara) of Vestal, NY, daughters Kathy Snider (Gary) of Denver, CO, and Cindy Hoffman of Newfield, NY, grandsons Dr. Jack Pawson Palmer III (Dana) of Cincinnati, OH, Dr. Christopher Palmer (Caitlin) of St. Louis, MO, Robert Snider and Sam Snider of Denver, CO, Max Snider of Boston, MA three great grandchildren and his brother Robert (Elsie) Palmer of Palm Bay, FL. If you wish, make a donation to local WSKG in Vestal NY in memory of Jack Pawson Palmer I. Please sign his guestbook at www.HEFUNERALHOME.com. Services provided by Hopler & Eschbach Funeral Home, 483 Chenango St. Binghamton.
