Thank you so much, Neil. At this point I will be self-publishing as I did my previous book, so no worries on word count. In fact, I WISH I had more from dad! I am planning to include some genealogy (there's a market for books which include that!) and lots of old and historic pictures, not just of family, but of the area where they homesteaded.

It's so nice to *see* you, again! After the holidays, I may take you up on that brain-picking.:-)
