Book by Gen Olds?

Tue Nov 13, 2007 8:31 am

In one of my last emails with Gen Olds, he mentioned that he was trying like mad to get his book finished. I am curious if anyone knows what the status would be of his book, now that we have lost him. Is there a plan to publish what he had finished?

Thanx as always.

As an aside (and to bump), Jim Shuttlewoth's neice put me in contact with the good General. I had asked that if he were ever in the area, if he would stop in for a barbecue and a couple beers. To which his reply was "Absolutely!" Unfortunately, we lost him too soon. I can only imagine what it would have been like to sit and sip a beer or two and listen to him tell some of his stories. Never even got the chance to meet him in person :( From everything I have heard others say, he was a well-loved and much-respected man. I know he lived a full and rich life.

Sorry for my ramblings...
