Several members of BookMen DC have written or edited books over the years, but as far as I know, this is the first time one of us has garnered a photo credit. Congratulations, Robert!
He explains: "I've always wanted to be mentioned in a book. However, I'm not so sure I had this title in mind! A professor from Stockton University wrote a book about the gay scene in Atlantic City in the '80s, '90s, etc. Someone showed her this picture of when I was visiting some friends there in 1981 and asked me if she could use it."
The author's name is Laurie Greene and the book is Drag Queens and Beauty Queens: Contesting Femininity in the World's Playground, published last year. I've just ordered it, and may nominate it for our next reading list.

Thanks to Tim Walton for formatting Robert's photo and guiding me through the process of posting it (something I hadn't yet tackled in my new role as blogmaster).
