Hank:
You're making me blush. After 39 years with the Navy, some years as a tank commander in the Reserves and being raised by a railroad man I normally don't blush easily.
At my age I gotta watch that blood pressure.
But thank you very very much for your review. Last month's sales were pretty good. Since the book came out lately sales have been around 2 books a month, sometimes 3 and sometimes 0. But last month 3 books sold at regular price and 4 books sold at "distribution" price to a library or an academic place of learning.
I think it may have been the California State University of Long Beach. They have been given a grant to do a TV history of the historical presence of the Navy in Long Beach. Of course, it means the Shipyard, the Base and the Airfield.
I have contacted the class instructor and have offered my services as a technical advisor. He will be getting back to me in June after this year's class graduates. In the meantime I'm gathering together all photos video tapes (VHS and Beta), disks, 35mm slides and 16mm movie films into an "accessible pile" so we can pick and choose what we need to pass on to our future generations when they ask, "Grandpa. I've been told there used to be a Navy Yard here with enormous dry dock capabilities. But all I see is a huge parking lot full of truck containers. So, was there ever a Navy center of some sort here?"
