Has anyone been in contact with the author? Do we know how it is coming? Was it just given up on?

Not the faintest clue; I would venture to guess it’s been given up. I was never under the impression that the person had a publisher or any such thing.

When I spoke to her, on the phone, a year or so back, sh said she had written a few other books. I would doubt that there was someone who would be willing to publish a book about pages though. The Clerks counsel would probably keep anything from being published anyway. Probably on the grounds that we all signed confidentiality agreements when we started; so, every interview she did with a page would be null. Just my assumption.

I think the only way something could get published about it is if it were a tell-all memoir (either classy like George Stephanopolous’s “All Too Human” or scandalous like the “Washingtonienne” affair)

Kinda off subject, but there are House pages in our Algebra book. lol

i not sure there could be a tell all about pages. dont get me wrong i loved my job. we were not close to any one, stephanopolous had a very close relationship to a president. im not sure about the rest of you but my best relationship seemed to be the wall.
we are kinda of dull in comparision to the campagin trail. think about how many hours you spent reading. i finished virginia woolf’s orlando in two weeks. that has to be a record for a woolf novel.
my guess is the pubisher thougt it would be boring

It was a book about the history of pages. From the Wayback Machine archive on May 12, 2003:
“There is a book in the works about the Page program. If you are interested in helping out with it click on read more.
Robin Katsasros asked me to broadcast the following message:
“I am doing a book and ask for anyone’s help that is interested in giving it? I’m looking for people who kept a journal (or are really good at remembering dates and times and people specifics), interesting anecdotes, stories, great photos, stories about the help from their sponsoring congressperson, how Paging affected their life and/or career (i.e.-did they go into politics? did any of the people they met in the Page program help them out? etc.)
In addition, Mr. Anderson, who used to be the Clerk of the House before Jeff Trandahl, is a very interesting fellow, who seems to truly care about the kids and the program. Any Pages work under his tutelage? I would especially like to find some link between sponsoring Congresspeople who were very supportive in speaking/educating/visiting with their Page and how this affected the Page. ”
If you are interested in helping her with anything she can be emailed at rkatsaros@aol.com”
Doesn’t sound sinister from that point of view, does it?

Outing closeted gays is good. But outing anonymous accusers is despicable!
When I wrote about “outing” yesterday I hadn’t read this post, which has a very different view of what the word means. While I thought the term involved disclosing the homosexuality of someone who was trying to be discrete and…
