Dr. Mont’s Biography, an update. . .Three weeks ago, this column announced the
impending publication of the biography of the late Dr. E. F. Montgomery, Sr. This book was put

together by his son, Ed. Since then, Ed has improved and expanded the book which now runs more
than 200 pages with photographs. This extra work has slightly delayed the publication date, until

February 1. Ed will announce then just when and where the book will be available. It’s going to be
great!
