I'll be mailing my order and check this weekend! My only wish is that instead of 40 pages, it's 400 pages! But, I'm sure this tasty morsel will just whet our appetites for a sequel!

Humble Heroes

I got my copy when I first heard about this book. Not a large book, but full of interesting information. Mine is in my old car/procar library.

I think we will hear more from him as a member of the PCS.
