Timely words from a very good friend

Got your book. Thank you. And thank you for your kind words.

It is a remarkable achievement and you should be justly prideful.

You should know that I've had hundreds of people tell me they intend to write this or that -- then don't. Hundreds more who start -- then stumble at the first or second hurdle. Not you.

I applaud your determination and your steely resolve.

Your book is a generous gift to your fellow man. In times of trouble it will buoy the human spirit.

Story #202 is both inspired and inspiring.

May you sell 201,000 copies.
