WOW

Wow!   I've become overwhelmed by the response to my book "It's all in the Fall". It is a wonderful experience to receive emails from long, lost workmates.   Today I received one from Bob Dyson, who retired in 1984 as an Assistant Superintendent.   Bob was a great man working in the Prison system, who taught me a lot.   We became great friends and had visited each other at our homes.   He was also the first person that I knew who owned a coloured television set.

Also today I received an email from Paul Lefoe, who retired as a Superintendent. I have written about Paul Lefoe in Volume One of my next book "Cutting the Bars" which I am planning on releasing within the next two weeks.   The story of Paul begins with a quote from General George S. Patton, The great things a man does, appear to be great, only after they are done.   When they're at hand, they are normal decisions and are done without knowledge of their greatness."   Paul was an outstanding Officer and a razor in battle.  

Paul was also a very good and loyal friend whose company and friendship was always valued by Margaret and myself.   I am sure everyone will enjoy reading about his exploits shortly.
