Will look this up. ... One comment and now a list of wonderful things to read. Maybe I can manage to live to 110 - LOL

Exactly how I feel reading this. Being a slow reader, I’d have to add more years to this.

DO read this. And listen to the podcast. It’s an incredible story, and of course George.

Mary, I've now read the story. I actually bought the book. Her style is fascinating - so dry yet gets to the heart of things. The second story in the book was A Long and Painful Death. Also wonderful. The pod cast is next.
