Over the years, the fan club has celebrated Erika's milestones with special anniversary booklets.

For Erika's 25th One Life to Live anniversary in 1996, Stephen Schofield and I spent 30 hours going through the club's newsletters, gathering highlights from Erika's career and personal life. We also contacted friends and colleagues throughout the industry for their congratulations. Nancy Richardson helped in the early stages, and Kit Swanson Williams edited the submissions and oversaw the binding of the finished hardcover book.

On March 17, 1996, Erika and Brian invited Kit and me to their home, where we presented Erika with the finished tribute. She was deeply touched and would always refer to it simply as “The Book.” We also presented her with a silver tray honoring her 25 years on One Life to Live. The tradition continued with smaller anniversary booklets in 2001 and 2011, created with Angie Schneider.
