My auntie sent me this. Voices of the Fallen from Newsweek: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17773294/site/newsweek/
Things are going well. Doc changed units and is now non-deployable. I have been busy with work, and I had a fabulous weekend. I went to Napa to see William and Mary Shea . William was in the play "South Pacific" and was a captain. If you don't know the play, it is based in WWII on an island. It has themes of love and hope, along with the unknown, racism and fear. It's clear that many of the same issues from that time period are still alive and well. No pics though. J
Some of you might know that the book is dedicated to Mary Shea...
I have two signatures from the book, now I just need 34 more~

Hi J!
I just wanted to say that I loved your book--it is an important contribution to history and women's studies, and simply a great read! Women's studies departments and the Women's Centers at schools nation wide should be stocking their shelves with a copy.
I had hoped to leave a more detailed comment at some point as my studies and interests revolve around American history/women's studies/creative writing, but that will have to wait. :) Until then, I just wanted to join the chorus of voices saying "Thank you!" (you know our female predecessors are so proud of your book!). :D
Thanks also for the updates on your man, Doc. The struggle you face together is compelling and affecting--thank you so much for allowing me to follow along. I am learning a lot.
Take care, Courtney
"The struggle you face together is compelling and affecting"
I didn't mean to say "struggle" in a negative way--poor choice of words--I meant to say "journey" or something like it. Anyway, the gist is: I loved your book, recommend it to everyone, and look forward to book #2 (hint, hint). :)

Book two yes! Sure have to get number one out there though! Stand by for updates! J
