Howdy and Happy Fourth of July. Just want to let you know that the Dick Grace book came. A nice copy, as promised. Grace was quite a fellow: the only person I ever heard of who crashed planes for a living and died of old age. I was in The Argosy once, years ago, 1997 or so. Hope to get in again one of these days, but NYC is a long way from here. Thanks again for helping me out with this. Best
I saw CNN student news on the other day and impressed how you ladies doing at the bookstore. I am Japanese woman and we value and treasure ancient things. Plus I am a genuine bookworm who prefer printed volumes than electric gadget. So I wanted to say it was a great interview and wonderful to know that there are someone who try to preserve old things rather than sell them and go to Carribean or wherever to swing in hammock. Hope I can visit you someday. Love and respect,
