just wish it weren't so Thompson was planning to bring tiie volume out through a Chicago publisher when the 1973-74 recession came along The publisher decided not to pursue the project even though much of it was completed So Thompson returned to his old alma mater in Topeka to see if it could help Washburn University's endowment money could not be used for a risky venture But Topekans were interested enough to form the Wash-bum Bible Committee to raise money for the project Mrs mother Olive White Garvey became the principal benefactor In 1979 a limited three-volume edition was published
