April 14th, 2002. The presentation was a big day for all of us involved with the book. It was the first time all of the researchers and contributors got together. There was a mass at Five Wounds. There was a parade and Holy Ghost celebration with queens dressed in historical costumes, using antique crowns. There was the lunch for the researchers and contributors. There were crowns on display. There was the public presentation of the book. And there was the sales and distribution of the book at the end of the day. It was sort of crazy too, because the IES Hall was used the night before until 1 AM...so we had to begin setting up for the big day at 2 AM, cleaning up and setting things right for the events of the day. Many stayed up all night working, only leaving to go home in time to change clothes and come back for the 10:00 mass at Five Wounds. Things went very well, and everyone got their books and had a marvelous time.
