Your purchase here can help a military family. My income from the sales of my books or ebooks goes to the Fisher House Foundation. The Fisher House Foundation builds comfort homes where military and veterans families can stay free of charge, while a loved one is in the hospital. These homes are located at military and VA medical centers around the world.

The Broad Brush about me--

I have lived a large part of my life backwards. That is, I worked for 20 years, then went to college. To complete the picture, after college I worked again and in due time retired.

If you have read this far and correctly done the math, you will have added up that I am well into my eighties. I lurch and wobble a little when I walk, and I use a cane, but I seem to be doing okay otherwise.
