About the Book

"Thank you for being my husband these 48 years. It was the greatest lesson in living my life and made every difference in my thinking."

"Love is for youth & I am old
Love is for warmth & I am cold
Love is given but I am taken
Love possesses but I'm forsaken
And live alone, alone "

"The best-fed, best-trained, best-dressed army in the world was fighting over a Spam sandwich."
