HAPPY 90th BIRTHDAY TO JOHN!
A Special Invitation to Our Visitors.
On October 27th, John will celebrate his 90th birthday. Considering that he was fortunate enough to survive Pearl Harbor and WWII, live a normal life, and make it into retirement before medical problems set in, and considering the various medical problems he has dealt with over the past 21 years, it is indeed a milestone worth celebrating now as he reaches his 90th birthday.
During this past year, he has received numerous requests for his autograph on cards, photos, and letters. He found it very touching that so many people had stopped to visit our site and to take the time to write to him via both email and regular mail. We both thank you.
If you would like to share in his birthday by sending him "Birthday Wishes" and or a "Love Gift", I know he will be honored with your kindness.
For anyone interested in sending a monetary gift of $20 or more, I will send you a copy of my book, "Right Here, Lover". It is a light hearted fictional romance set in the Texas Hill Country, and Christmas is just around the corner if you would like some for gifts. This book is special. It not only is my own work, but it contains art work done by a local artist, and... it contains photos of John and me, and our puppy dogs. Each book will be numbered and autographed by me. Plus, I will have John autograph his photo. You may include who you want the book and or photo autographed to. You may request additional books. Include a gift of $20 or more per book. Priority Shipping will be free to U.S. addresses only. Outside of U.S., please include additional needed for shipping cost to your Country.

-- Please note that if you sent an email and never heard back from me, please send again. My apologies, but there have been several times this year when I lost mail due to a server problem, or computer problems, and another time when a major phone cable was cut in our neighborhood. Each time I was downloading mail when the connection broke and left emails hanging in cyber space. --
Thank you sincerely.
God Bless.
Doris
3/6/10 -- My apologies. After over 8 years with the same server company, we were suddenly left hanging when the company and servers disappeared without notice. Along with that, my computer is not fully functional because something stole a file which I haven't been able to replace. And more critical, John has been ill and my attentions and priorities are in taking care of him. I do expect him to recover and feel better soon. Meanwhile, your prayers are appreciated.
On another note, some of our visitors have sent photos for John to sign. Please be aware that glossy prints do not take well to ball point pens. If you know of a pen that will write on gloassy and not rub off, I'd appreciate knowing. I simply have not had time to go searching. If feasible, you may consider copying your photos on a different finish that will accept the ink without smearing. Also, currently John does not feel like doing the autographing, but he will attend to those waiting for his autograph when he is feeling better. So please bear with us. John is always pleased to hear from you.
God Bless you all. Thank you for your cards.
Doris
PS. If you happen to notice a file, graphic, etc. missing, please feel free to email me. I'm working to get all of the files reloaded, but may have missed a few. Thanks. Doris
