I served in RVN with the men and women of the 12th Tactical Fighter Wing in the Air Force.  I wrote e-mail stories of life incidents to entertain these folks at www.12tfw.org I found I was a huge sucess and both they and my wife and children encouraged me to write a book.  I did and it is now available on B&N as well as Amazon. I am a buffoon as far as editing goes, I have dangled participals all my life and feel no shame in doing so.  If you want proper construction and grammer, do not buy this book.  It will be a huge dissapointment.  I left misspelled wurds and improper grammer to add to the tongue in cheek humor of the book. I wrote it for my Grandkids and great Grandkids, for long after I'm gone, when parents tell them, :Your Granfather or Great Grandfather was crazy" they will have written reference to see that is just so true.
