What a great book. . . . a great book in the sense that it captures your life and those of your family members and good friends.  For generations to come, your successors will be able to check what you  said about dozens if not hundreds of subjects and events.  I am particularly impressed that you put together such an opus magnum in your spare time. . . . You have brought back great memories for me. . . . It may sound trite but Bravo Zulu.  A great big "Well Done" for all your achievements."  ~ Captain Hugh Lynch, USN (Ret)
