Exciting New Children's Book On The Way

[L Verge]

I just want to add one more word of praise for Mike's work, and it is based on something intangible that we have touched on in a slightly negative way in another thread. To me, Mike has shown the true spirit of being a giving American. I believe that I am correct that he is retired military, so he has given to America in that capacity. However, his work on this book shows me that he saw something that was missing in our children's classrooms and decided to correct the situation by using his artistic, verbal, and historical skills to produce this book.

Instead of sitting back and grumbling and throwing in the "guilt card" about the deficiencies in American society, he took the initiative to correct what was lacking in his wife's classroom books. Her students have already benefited for several years with Mike's extra help, and I hope that many more children will learn from his endeavor.
