Thanks guys. I am in the process of refining the book with improved edits and the addition of over 10 more pages of full color images on enhanced paper. This second edition is essentially the same book as the first edition, but will put me in a better position to accept help from dealers.

I have placed one of the stamped, numbered, autographed first edition copies up for bidding on St. Jude’s forum #2. I hope that this book will bring joy to a collector and provide a little support for the kids at St. Jude’s who are facing a tough challenge. Mike

I agree with all the above. If I may add one criticism of it Mike, I would say you need to hire another proof reader for spelling mistakes. Gene and Barry just ain't cutting it.  :)

SWP- I know what you mean. I kind of rushed to get it to print so that my wife could read it. But now I'm blessed to have a chance to clean things up a bit with the printing of the second edition.
Believe me; I heard it all from Dave Petersen. :>) But overall, it seems folks are connecting to their past through this book. Thank you all for you comments and critique. I also learned a lot through this process, and have been inspired and touched by many of your testimonies. Mike

Can't blame you for that Mike, glad you got to share it with her. I think everyone can find a least one thing they can identify with in your book,I try to read at least a little everyday and from what I've read I'm thinking it will get re-read several more times!

Joe, that’s funny. Many folks are telling me they can relate to the finer details of the book, but when I wrote about those things I thought they would only be important or of interest to me. Boy was I wrong. Ha! I’m glad you’re enjoying it. Mike

Aw, man, I just read the Mauled by a Moose chapter--didn't know whether to laugh or not!  Now I can't wait to read about the tick guy.
