CONGRATULARY LETTERS

I received a congratulatory letter from Quint Struder of the Struder Group after reading about my book signing in the Pensacola News Journal. Mr. Studer has written a couple of books relating to his business and thinks there is no greater satisfaction than when that final chapter is completed and the book is on its way to the publisher. He feels that senior writers are an inspiration to all other seniors who have stories to tell.

Another letter was received after reading my book, Suwannee River Odyssey, in which Dr. Tom West recalls his father telling him stories about the area in which he was raised along the Suwannee River. This book brought back fond memories of this time in his life. He said he and his children would love to hear more stories of observations in early Suwannee County, Florida.

Thank you to these fine gentlemen who took their valuable time to respond to my efforts.
