I've been out of the loop for DS since early February, except for quickly checking the board when I heard Dan Curtis had died. This is the first I've heard of the book "Produced and Directed by Dan Curtis." Is this from KLS's Pomegranate Press?
Thanks for sharing news of the memorial, and KLS's words. Very moving.

yes it is published by pomegranate press.
