I ended up like 3 months later getting a very nice letter from him thanking me for my service to the county. Then he explained to me how amazed he was with the military and how he had more books coming. Since that time I have been a Big Tom C. fan. Great Guy!!!!

Shared e-mails and/or letters with Elie Wiesel, Tom Clancy, someone claiming to be "George Clooney" and a few others not as famous about activities for survivors of various kinds of crimes I have been involved in and hurdles faced in these since leaving the University of Minnesota Law Library's employ in mid-1991.
