Hello My Dear Anne-Lise, You really surprised me with this one!! (I will let Liam know as he is away for the day from his home in Ireland, and will see your "Kimo" write here later PM.) And, I'm both very thankful and overwhelmed with your endorsement of my new book. (What better advertisement could I possibly ask for??) This is a tribute that makes me blush and leaves me quite humbled too. I'm sure that Liam will feel that same. A three-country friendship for sure! 7 + FAV! Best Always, Gary

With you in my court on my behalf Dear Anne-Lise, I could not ask for a better friend or cheerleader for my new book, other than Liam who is the very same way, ditto . . . ditto, 100 Percent!! I really do appreciate all that you've said and done on my behalf. I'm glad you like the book!! Best!! Gary
