Received your package this morning. Have already signed your copy of my magazine article and will be placing it back in the mail today. It was a real thrill for me to do so and I am very honored that you asked. -_-

Well today is the day. Received a big package from Fort Leonard Wood and in it were copies of my magazine from Army Engineer Magazine. It turned out just spectacular. I am very pleased. When I get a chance later today, I will scan the cover (it's dedicated to the 540th) and the article and place it on the site for all to read.

 

I am planning on giving copies to the vets of the 540th for Christmas gifts. I hope this touches their hearts. :wub::wub:

 

Thanks to Michael, the editor extraordinaire, for an outstanding job. I can't thank you enough! :pdt34::pdt34:

Here's the article in two parts. Thought it would be easier to download/open this way. I scanned it at high res (sorry), so it will take a while to download and open. Please be patient.

I gotta share this with you guys. I still can't believe it. Well actually I can. :banghead:

 

As you know, I not only shared my first publication with you, many of my long time friends here in Michigan. Anyway, we attended a summer party shortly after it was released, and we brought a few copies with us.

 

So a few weeks later two dear friends came to visit us and were talking about the article. They said they really loved it and were very proud of me. Thanks I said. My girlfriend then said, I have to tell you this. She proceeded to tell me that one of our mutual friends said to her, "Do you really think SHE wrote that?" I guess my friend looked at him in disbelief! :o WHAT? He then repeated, "Do you really think SHE WROTE THAT?" Of course she did, she replied exasperated, and berated him for even asking. :unsure:

 

She said she hesitated to tell me this, but I told her, I'm glad you did, for whoever said it isn't much of a friend and it doesn't say a whole hell of a lot about HIM, now does it? This kind of behavior in people just makes me shake my head. :(

 

Had to get that one off my chest. Who needs friends like that? :wacko::wacko:

Thanks sweetie. I was very excited when I opened the package. Then my brother-in-law and his wife dropped by and requested a copy. They are going to read it tonight in front of the fireplace. Ah, how romantic. Reading war articles.... :lol::lol: Maybe a fine Merlot with that? :pdt12::pdt12:

Thanks Chris. I thought it was just beautiful and once again must give a lot of the credit to Michael. We made a good team. :drinkin:

 

Can't wait till the guys get to see it. I hope to get their copies out to them within the next week.

 

A heads-up for you; I would like to write a similar article for the 36th. :pdt34:

 

The article also gave me great inspiration for the layout of my book. I want to make it very easy on the eye and full of visuals.

I wasnt able to read the sidebar on the pdf version.

 

So if I understand you right ,the layout would be similar to a coffee table book with alot of pics? Or do you have something else in mind?
