I want to let you know about my book, The Old School (ISBN (print): 9781633187276, ISBN (electronic): 9781310503733). The first part is historical information leading up to the formation of the Mid-Valley School District in 1969.

This book has opened my eyes to the tens, maybe even hundreds, of ways that cadavers can be used; from car crash simulations to finding the soul to becoming lumbering trees and roses in death, there are so many ways to help the world around you.
