Joy, this post is perfect timing – I just posted my review of your book!!!
What a blessing, GP! Thank you for your generosity.
No generosity here – it was an honor. I just hope I did you and your family justice.
May I share it on my website, the entire post?
Of course. It’s yours now to do with what you wish.
Thank you.
Love this, Joy! 🥰

Thanks, Joy! I’m there — thanks for your recommendation to do so! 🥰
It’s good to see so many of these stories preserved!
A Missing Plane is from the 1980s but the rest are more recent. I’m thankful that research is still happening!
Yes!
