Hey Cindy, I think you are doing an awesome job, smile. Typos and all. I know we were really worried about you when we didn't hear from you and am glad that things are settling into a rhythm. It is going to take time, smile but I know you will go at it, attack it and keep going, as you always do, smile.

My pleasure. It's interesting. I started describing the illustrations but as they're just photos of the soldiers, both as youngsters aand as older men, I'm not going to continue. The book will then go more quickly. And the other two I have I think will go fairly quickly. The one I just finished was hideous. Because the missing pages were in italics and in some cases formatted as poetry and didn't scan, I typed them in. Good therapy for me, but very slow, as I had to read very carefully and type very slowly. Even hen I missed hitting the right key and instead hit the one next to it.Quick Explanation for you newcomers. I had a *very* mild stroke--which has had some mild effects--nothing serious. I was *very* lucky--but if you've noticed a lot of typos in my posts that's why.CindyWish List (i.e., books wanted added to the collection) and books-being-scanned list available at sites belowWish List: https://wiki.benetech.org/display/BSO/Bookshare+Wish+ListBooks Being Scanned List: https://wiki.benetech.org/display/BSO/Books+Being+Scanned+List--- On Wed, 6/10/09, Judy s. <cherryjam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:From: Judy s. <cherryjam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Medals of Honor recipients (was Re: Re: Just Submitted: The War Against Miss Winter)To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Wednesday, June 10, 2009, 5:21 PM Cindy, I'm looking forward to reading that Medals of Honor recipients book eventually, too. Thank you again for taking over proofreading it, when I couldn't. smile. Just saw a new book come into the collection on the Horse Soldiers (U.S. Unit that won over the war lords in Afghanistan). Can't wait to read that one either. One of my friends is a USMC Cobra pilot that was part of that action, and he sent me some amazing photographs at the time from Afghanistan. One is of a group of American soldiers and Afghan fighters, all on horseback and wearing Afghan robes. One of the soldiers is using a Toughbook laptop identical to the one I use and a laser sight to guide in a Naval fighter pilot's strike against a Taliban unit. It portrays an amazing contrast between the traditional horse mounted unit in desert garb coordinating with and using state-of-the-art airborne weapons systems for support. Judy s.
