As a columnist for the Oregon Statesman and the Statesman Journal for many years, Wes talked about writing a book, but he didn't realize he'd already written one until his sons went through more than 700 of his columns and compiled the best ones into Jam On The Ceiling. In this book, Wes talks about Oregon history and politics, the changing times and technology, traveling the world and hiking in Oregon, and the time he spent with his son Bill (William L. Sullivan) working to build and then enjoy a log cabin in the wilderness along the Siletz.
