All WWII Veterans

 

Here's a golden opportunity for each of you to make literary history!

 

It seems like Dr. Jack Haberstroh, author of "Swabby" is asking for assistance in publishing a sequel to his first book.  I quote from his formal request
to our President, Sonny Walker.

 

                                        "It's (SWABBY) pre-publication reception has been so enthusiastic that I've begun its sequel
                                        SWABBY II.  Again, its purpose is to salute the contributions, the valor, and the sacrifices
                                        made by the enlisted sailor in World War II.  Naval historians, for the most part, have over-
                                        looked him.

                                        I'd like to invite each of your WWII enlisted members to send me a personal experience
                                       
or two for SWABBY II.  Their experiences may be good or bad, funny or tragic.  I'll edit
                                        for spelling, grammar, etc. if needed.  There's plenty of time.  I suspect it will take me
                                        another year-and-a-half to compile this second book  (SWABBY  took two-and-a-half
                                        years to complete).

                                        If they have a couple of then-and-now photos I'd love to use them.  (There are 412 then-
                                        and-now photos in SWABBY).  I'll make nice copies of the pics and mail back the originals
                                        immediately.  I'd also like to know, in two or three sentences, what they've been doing
                                        since the war ended.  I usually write a very brief bio about each contributor.

                                        They can reach me snail mail, or e-mail:  swabbyhab@juno.com

                                        Thank you so very much for your assistance."
