New Book?
« on: June 30, 2015, 09:27:33 AM »
A few weeks ago, I was at a World War II event celebrating our WWII veterans with my grandfather, who is one. A woman suggested that we write a book about his life and accomplishments...which are still ongoing and he's 90! Here's one of the many newspaper articles about him.

http://www2.readingeagle.com/article.aspx?id=390410

So, we have begun the process of recording his life. All he needs to do is record himself. I've already started making a website and have begun scanning the hundreds of family photos of him and the rest of us. You can keep up with the website here:

There a lot of work to be done there and I'll be adding photos as well as places he gave speeches and for future speeches, etc. He had a bronze star and about 1/2 a dozen medals. But after speaking to some congressmen and his last speech (last weekend) they thought he should have more and are looking into it to see what they can do. Keep your fingers crossed.

So, with all of this there may be times I might be a tad busy and not seen as much. I'll be checking in during those times so don't worry. I'm just working on things or traveling with him to take some photos.

This sounds great Steve!  :thumbup:
We'll keep watch for the details as you develop and post up the pics and info.

Ps: I've finished reading the book and will post up a mini-review at some point today or tomorrow.
