I would be proud if something I've said in one of those lectures matched the depth of feeling you reached.Ronald Friedmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07195000104383668868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614235196905261592.post-67147234399250824842014-09-02T12:05:47.299-05:002014-09-02T12:05:47.299-05:00Thanks, Michelle.

Nice to see what you're both working on. I'm familiar with Andrew's work -- and I'm glad to become acquainted with yours, Len. Your American series sounds quite interesting. I'm the right target audience in terms of age and geography.

So you're published! But our library doesn't have any of your books, so I'll have to peruse Amazon. My husband's 2 nephews did the Coeur d'Alene ironman last year. Maybe you competed against them! Their names are David and Cameron Young, from Cheyenne, WY. Actually, Cameron dropped out during the swimming part, as he was getting hypothermic, but David finished. David competed in another one a few weeks ago, but I assume you were not there this time. <br />Glad to hear your surgery went well and that pain killers are doing their job. I'm trying to talk Kris into going to the 45th reunion, but so far she's resisting, as she cares for her dad full time.<br />Get lots of rest and I'm sure you'll be back to your 5 am workouts soon!

It would be a lie to tell you it is. But many aspects of my life have become better as a result of this unexpected twist. Attitude is key and you have the right one.

You never know what will happen if it's out there. I used Lulu.com - it costs nothing (unless you need them to design a cover and format the text, and then it's very reasonable), you only pay for books you buy. And it will be on Amazon. <br />Just a thought.Samantha Hoffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02689498125987433143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614235196905261592.post-18947363821616721022012-09-29T00:44:47.771-05:002012-09-29T00:44:47.771-05:00Lenster:

My pastor will be sharing the amazing letter that he wrote on his way to basic training and I'm putting together a slideshow made up of pictures from the era and also of George. I wondered what happened to his family and am happy to find that his brother survived the war and lived a wonderful life. You are a part of an incredible legacy. Thank you for sharing.
