Hi Coach, I got your signed copy Saturday, and read it Saturday night. It is really cool. Your insights into the hobos moving around the country in the 40's hit me hard. My Dad was one of those guys in the 30's. He ran away from home in 1931, at the age of 12 and traveled the country in a similar fashion that you depicted of both the hobos and the gypsies. He spent a few years with Willard the Wizard, which was a traveling Magic show at that time, but mostly he just wandered around. He ended up joining the Army Air Corps during WWII, around 1943. Reading your stories, I felt like I was living them with you. Thank you for a job well done. Thanks also for your kind words, and for signing the copy. If you will remind me at the right time, I will post a review on the appropriate web sites once the book is publicly available. Hey all your Ro-Hawks out there. Send Coach your checks. His book is a great read.
