Mr. Vesilind will build on the manuscript originally prepared by Mr. Enn Kõiva, with contributions by many other individuals, covering the period from approximately 1949 to 2000, and which has since undergone revisions and additions to 2009 under the editorship of Marju Rink-Abel. Mr. Vesilind will be contacting selected Estonian American organizations to update information and to acquire photographic material for the book.
Mr. Vesilind, currently a freelance writer, is a former senior writer and photojournalist for National Geographic magazine. He has written and photographically illustrated three books about political and cultural affairs in Estonia, including “The Singing Revolution.”
The book is slated for publication in late 2016.
