That would be a good idea. And maybe you could somehow advertise your books? I think lots of people would be interested.

Keith,

I agree, another sign with a summary of what the patrol did would be great. Its an interesting piece of history that I don't think a lot of people know about. And, like Joe said, an excellent way to plug the book(s).

Bobby

Very good! That helps tell the story.

How many more "reservations" do you need before you can publish the book?

Thanks Guys!!

Joe, I am still around 70 short. I am a little disappointed in the response from my ad in the Chicago Fire Museum's newsletter (2 books). I also missed putting an ad in my Union newsletter. We have a website and I want to post an ad there but I am having trouble putting in pictures. I will get in touch with the webmaster this week to see what I can do. It sure would of been nice to have the books ready for Christmas!!

LOL Bobby!

I texted one of the guys from car show TV yesterday asking when they will air my interview. He said it will be edited this week and should be shown on Saturday. They usual have it ready before then on their website.
