the incredibly fortunate recipients of your devoted work, and your palpable admiration for, and pride in your heroic family! not only is it informative and fascinating, it is deeply, powerfully moving.

every time i read one of your articles, i am aware of how much work it must have taken, because it is so thorough, so detailed, so full of interconnected segments of information! that is why i have sometimes asked if you are a professional writer: i had, each time, looked for the link to a published article, wondering who was the author, only to feel, once again, tremendously honored that you had written it to be published here, for us!

how wonderful it must have been, for you and for your father, to spend those last years of his life together, him adding to what you already knew, filling in spaces in your history with his precious wealth of knowledge! you speak of him, his accomplishments, so highly! what an amazing sequel to his inspirational life!

i am grateful for the chance to read of your family. and it is all the more moving because you are a dear member of our own community here, presenting us with these gifts.

words are inadequate ....

are you planning to write books? you certainly have the vital material!

thank you, again Ron
