It has been awhile so time to update you. I am turning a corner and off in a fresh direction. Having spent almost two years interviewing and pounding the pavement n search of your best stories, I now am certain I have more than enough high-quality material to make this a worthy book. So I am concentrating my efforts more now on the compiling, editing and arranging part of this. There is still a ton of work to do, but for me this is the fun part...the challenge of choosing the words and arranging them on paper in a way that does justice and brings alive all the powerful memories you have shared with me over the last two years.

I am still taking stories and can make room at any time yet for good ones. Also, there are still a few holes to fill or lighter spots in some of the topics, so keep them coming. But if you have a story, and have been meaning to get it to me...well sooner rather than later is now the best advice because at some point down the road it will be too late. That is still a ways away, but every evening I chip away to bring it closer.
