I got a nice letter from my classmate Charley O from California the other day.
He wrote: “Rivetting! I couldn’t put it down. The book is good. You always have been a good story teller, so the format was good for you. It was a kick to read some of the escapades that I had heard about over the years. Football memories that had faded from my head long ago; you brought back vividly.
George enjoyed life in spite of hardship and tragedy. There’s no need for me to tell you how fortunate you’ve been to have had such a friend.
The book title is catchy, but perhaps a misnomer. Neither his nor your youth was misspent. On the contrary, it was incredibly rich. The book is not only a tribute to George, but it also says a lot about your family and you - A tight, supportive, loving group. Phil would have said about you “great bloodlines” –Your good happy life was a prohibitive 1 – 9 shot because of that breeding. See, don’t get a swollen head; you had nothing to do with it.
Your Judicious friend

P.S.
Finally the 55 team will go on the back burner. Superseded by the success of “the Author”. Oh God, give us strength!
Nice Work
Chas”
I’ve been getting a lot of calls every week from people who have enjoyed reading the book.
Chet called from Cape Cod and said, “I went into the website and it pushed me to read the book right away. I couldn’t put it down.”
Ray Oney called from Maine: “I heard about the book and am really looking forward to reading it this fall.”
Marty III called from Pennsylvania: “I’ve heard you relate many of these stories over the years, but reading the entire book from cover to cover certainly puts it into a whole new perspective. Boy, it was great. I loved it. You did a fantastic job writing the tales and creating a wonderful novel.”
My sister’s friend Ida told her she read Friends are Thicker than Water and loved it. She was delighted to find out that the character Nancy was the author’s sister.
Thanks to all who have enjoyed reading my book and passing it on to their friends to read.
