	November 2001 We are sad to report that Paraview Press author Charles Crenshaw has died of natural causes at his home in Fort Worth, Texas. Crenshaw, who was 68, is the author of Trauma Room One. His health had been deteriorating in recent years. Obituaries honoring this surgeon who treated President John F. Kennedy’s gunshot wounds in 1963 appeared in the Dallas Morning News, The New York Times and other newspapers around the country. Paraview Productions opens a videostore. With the help of Paraview partner BC video, videos produced by Paraview and/or BC Video can now be purchased online from our website. Come visit!

	October 2001 The newest Paraview Press ebook—River of a Thousand Tales by Rao Kolluru-- is now available in Microsoft Reader and Peanut Press editions. Sandra Martin of the Paraview Literary Agency is recognized for her advisory role in the National Foundation for Alternative Medicine. Writes Vice President Matthew J. Boyer: “Sandra has been an active member of The National Foundation for Alternative Medicine's (NFAM) International Committee on Alternative and Complementary Medicine for the last three years. Her leadership in this role has been inspiring to the other members. In addition, Sandra was a critical player in some of NFAM's initial European clinic investigations. Without her participation NFAM would have been at a great disadvantage in collecting the data necessary to write evaluation reports on the clinics and help NFAM save lives. It is my experience that among her many talents public relations is one of her strongest. Sandra has introduced NFAM to a large number of high profile individuals including celebrities. Last year, Sandra co-hosted an event for NFAM in the penthouse apartment of one of New York's most prominent lawyers. This single event elevated public awareness about NFAM's work several levels and would have been impossible without Sandra's dedication and support of the event and to NFAM. Sandra's activism is unparalleled.”
