Dear Robert Coram:

I often think about your book about Boyd. It has stuck with me. It resonates on many levels, as we say. With my experience as a GI in the Air Force, my experience in corporate America, working as a technical writer, and my experience as a literary writer who can't place his books because he isn't writing what New York is looking for, and the alternatives that used to exist don't anymore, for me.

I also know to look at your web page if I am diagnosed with prostate trouble, and start researching the subject there.

I look forward to reading your new book. I will buy it when I see it and review it at my web site (www.thedailybulletin.com).

That won't help you very much, but I no longer send reviews out.

I may send you a copy, and you can quote from it, if you care to.

I don't see how that would help you much, either.

Good luck with the book, though.

My son is an ex-Marine. He was a bandsman, between the two Iraq wars, and didn't see combat.

But he could appreciate the influence Boyd had on Marine thinking.

We could shoot the shit about it. A father-son bond, so to speak.

Fraternally, Jack Saunders

p.s., I preordered the book from Amazon.com. Thanks for the link.
