Let me add that, for several years, I've been learning from Rod how not
to drop that baton. I still wonder at how he has accomplished all that
he has done. You cannot imagine how much involvement, tenacity, energy,
attention to detail, and - dare I say it? - love for the organization
that Rod has put into his efforts. Without him, much that is valuable
about the VA, its heritage, its people would have been lost. He has
made an invaluable contribution to us as VA psychologists and
scholar-historians of our profession and science.

I want to alert everyone about a wonderful resource compiled by Rod
Baker. The web link is noted in his email that opens this chain, and he
also can get a pdf file to those who are interested. Instructions are
below in his last message. thanks again to Rod for all the effort he
has put in over the years in compiling the history of VA psychology, and
thanks to Bob Goldberg for taking the baton as the incoming historian.
Best,
Toni

Glad you liked it and appreciated the kind words of the historical work
for VA psychology I've done,
I'm trying to get the free pdf file to as many as I can that would like
a copy. Could you please mention it on one of your psychology conference
calls? All that they have to do is e-mail a request to me at
rodbaker@xxxxxxx I prefer the e-mail request process from them which
insures I have a good e-mail address to forward the file to them.
Since they will also get the same e-mail you received they can print out
the free pdf file themselves if they wish as well as consider avoiding
the hassle/costs of doing their own printing by buying the more
professionally bound book (containing the pdf file) I self-published
through CreateSpace. That information also appears in the e-mail I sent
you and others below that I will be forwarding to them. Many of those
who bought the book like the professional look of the book with many
adding that they like the laminated paperback with the book's front and
back cover featuring a display of about a dozen of the photos inside
asking the reader if they knew the person(s) in the picture. A hint is
provided as well as the page number in the book where they can find the
person(s) name.
Finally, I'm talking with Jeff Burk about getting file into the archive
section of the AVAPL Newsletter so hopefully all of its members will
have access to the pdf file.
Rod

Subject: VA Psychology Photo History by Rod Baker
To: VA Psychology History Friends
My last VA psychology history project before I turned my historian role
over to Bob Goldberg was to compile a collection of scanned photos of
VACO and VA Psychology Chief/Leaders from 1946 to 2005 that I had
acquired over the years. These scanned photos are being submitted to the
VA psychology archives at The Center for the History of Psychology,
Archives of the History of American Psychology at The University of
Akron.
So that many of you can enjoy the same pleasant memories I had of these
VA psychology leaders who helped our profession and improved the care of
veterans over the years, I am attaching a 48 page pdf file for you that
contains screen prints of those images (about 170 of them, including
some candid shots from APA conventions, etc.) They can be easily viewed
on your computer screen or, if you wish and have a color inkjet printer,
you can print out any of the pages if you want to keep a hard copy.
If you do want to print out some pages, let me give you some
recommendations. Since all of the scanned photos are either grayscale or
color prints, they do not display well when printed on a black and white
printer. I can also tell you from many years of printing photos that the
paper you use in your printer is crucial for the best images. Any office
supply store (Office Max, Office Depot, etc.) sells color inkjet paper
of a better quality than the usual color inkjet paper sold. These papers
are sometimes called presentation matte paper and work well (you do not
need glossy or semigloss photo paper.) The presentation matte papers
have a coated surface for color prints and, although they generally are
a heavier paper (27-30#?), you will be pleased with the difference. (As
a reminder, all color inkjet printers allow you to determine the type of
paper/grade you are printing with and that grade paper should be
selected before printing.) If you transfer the attached pdf file to a
memory stick or put it on a CD, the same office supply stores will also
print the file for you on good paper. This can get expensive, however,
with color printing costing 50 cents or more per page, an important
consideration if you want to print out the entire 48 page file.
In talking with others, I have been asked to create an inexpensive
alternative by self-publishing a paperback book that can be ordered
online for those who do not want the trouble to print the file
themselves. I have decided to use CreateSpace for this (an Amazon.com
company...and one I've used before that does good work) and the book can
be ordered online for $10 plus S/H. The book is 8x10 inches in size, is
professionally bound, and has a color laminated paperback cover in
addition to the 48 pages in the file I am sending you. The book can be
ordered by going to the following website: www.createspace.com/3516195
With that technical information out of the way, if you enjoy seeing
these images, let me encourage you to forward this e-mail and the file
attachment to anyone you think might be interested in receiving the free
file. I'm sending this e-mail and pdf file to those of you for whom I
have e-mail addresses but obviously my list is limited. I'm guessing
there may be many VA chiefs and other staff would enjoy the file.
In closing, I would like to thank so many of you that have helped me
over the years to document the rich history of VA psychology. Please
give Bob Goldberg the same help you've given me to continue to develop
that history.
Rod Baker
P.S. If you have any trouble opening/using the enclosed fie, let me know
so I can help. Please do not use the "reply to all" option on your
e-mail software if you have questions.
