Having had the good fortune to read this book in manuscript form, I was very pleased to be asked to write the foreword to what is a most interesting and historical publication. My father, Frank Dailey, was a Marine aviator who served in VF-9M at Quantico in the 1930s so these stories were of great interest to me. This book will have an appeal to aviation historians and particularly Marine aviation buffs. It will have a universal appeal to all of those Marine aviators, aircrew and aviation ground personnel who served at Quantico from 1918 to the present day. The many photographs of Quantico and the early Marine Corps aircraft, combine to present a well balanced and excellent historical record of a segment of our Marine aviation history, which, until now, has not been published in this detail and with this many facts, in one volume.John Elliott has put a great amount of research into writing this book. He is no stranger to Marine aviation history. In addition to having lived part of our Marine Corps aviation history for 24 years (Private in 1941 to retirement as a major and aviation ordnance officer in 1966), he joined the Smithsonian in 1966 as the Chief, Collections Branch, National Armed Forces Museum Advisory Board. He became the Smithsonian%u2019s contract administrator in 1975 and retired after 18 years with the Smithsonian. He then accepted the position of Assistant Naval Aviation Historian on the staff of the Chief of Naval Operations, where he worked for another five years on both Marine Corps and Navy aviation history.Foremost among his published works is the Official Monogram US Navy & Marine Corps Aircraft Color Guide, Volumes I through IV, 1911-1993. He received the Admiral Arthur Radford Award for excellence in Naval Aviation History and Literature in 1994 for this work. He is considered the world%u2019s leading expert on U.S. Navy and Marine Corps aircraft and paint schemes. He has published articles in Naval Aviation News, Journal of the American Aviation Historical Society, The Hook, the journal of the Tail Hook Association, The Marine Corps Gazette and Leatherneck and the Marine Corps Aviation Association%u2019s Yellow Sheet and Journal magazines. He has also written several segments of the Naval Historical Centers%u2019 aviation history publications US Naval Aviation 1910-1995 and Dictionary of American Naval Aviation Squadrons. He has one of the largest private collections of early Marine Corps aircraft photos. Though he is now retired, he spends a considerable amount of time each week answering queries about Marine Corps aviation history and transmitting his photos around the world via electronic means as well as serving as a Docent at the National Museum of the Marine Corps.General J.

When news of World War II broke out on December 7, 1942, Walter Cheers was on the golf course. He immediately enlisted and eventually served as an airbase commander in India, flying supplies over the "hump" to British troops in Burma. Love Letters from India is a collection of the letters he wrote home to his wife, Frances, during the war. Following the death of her parents, Walter's daughter, Sally Cheers Reason, began cataloguing and transcribing the letters he wrote to her mother. It was a project that lasted many years and one that gave her a rare glimpse into the passionate relationship her parents shared. Walter was a rather introverted person who rarely discussed his feelings or showed physical affection. His letters not only gave Sally a view of the war through his eyes, but by following her father into law and later transcribing his love letters, Sally discovered a side of him she had rarely glimpsed during his lifetime.

The year 2000 graduating class from Homewood High School was confident, but impatient. Some had been scholars, others were sports heroes, a few were cheerleaders while most were just glad to graduate. The future was their gift. Little did any of them know how much their lives would change within the next ten years. None of these young impetuous students could have imagined the tragedy of September 11, 2001 or predict the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq. Who among these enthusiastic graduates could have foreseen the tragic New Orleans flooding, or the election of the first African American United States President? Yet, all this came to pass in just ten short years. This is the story of how these events shaped the lives of a few members of this class and their parents. Some found love, while others lost it forever. It's a common story, but honor lies in the telling.

NO GOOD DEEDByJeanette A. Fratto When Hollywood clashes with conservative Orange County, California, probation officer Linda Davenport finds herself in the middle of the uproar. "Anyone but me!" she declares, upon learning that handsome, squeaky clean, movie star, Damian Calloway, has been arrested for sexual molestation, and the court wants probation to prepare a pre-trial report. But the chief probation officer wants no one but Linda to handle the case, and personally assigns it to her. Linda's tumultuous first year as a probation officer is behind her, and she is comfortable in her assignment as an adult court investigator. She's engaged to her college love, David Wyndham, and is certain her life has settled down nicely. Now this! The media is in a frenzy over Calloway's arrest, and everyone involved with the case is a target for their scrutiny. Linda is warned to keep a low profile as she sorts out why Calloway was outside a country bar late at night in San Juan Capistrano, far from his home in Los Angeles. He adamantly denies any wrongdoing, and demands a speedy trial. Is it true that "no good deed" goes unpunished? Or is it a "good deed?" In the meantime, Linda learns that her mother is coming for a two-week visit, her first since Linda left Michigan for California. She was never in favor of the move, and will now have two weeks to express her opinions and create further tension in Linda's life. When Linda tries to satisfy her mother's curiosity about movie stars, her efforts backfire, and the newspapers have a field day making Linda look biased. Her life is further complicated when information she learns about Calloway challenges his "perfect" reputation. But does it make him a molester? A critical decision must be made. Before the truth comes out, Linda must defend her reputation on the witness stand, resolve conflicts with her mother, and have a final confrontation with Damian Calloway. This sequel to NO STONE UNTURNED puts Linda, once again, in the center of controversy; one which only she can resolve. As Catherine Kitcho, President of Pele Publications, said in her review, "Be prepared to be glued to this book from page one..."

Have you looked in the mirror recently? Was the person looking back at you the person you used to be or are you not sure who is starring back at you. Sometimes during the course of life we allow ourselves to become what society says we ought to be. Society and it''s norms should not be how we define ourselves. God has made each one of us to be unqiuely different and special in our own right. When we take the time to examine ourselves we may be surprised how much of the real us is gone. Physically we disfigured ourselves or made ourselves sick trying to measure up to how society says we ought to look or be. Who I Be is personal. It is time that we focus on who and how God intended for us to be. We were fearfully and wonderfully made and we should find satisfaction in being made in God''s image and not who or what society says we should be. Our physical, emotional, mental, and financial status does not make us. Who I Be is about the person who can be themselves and not be stressed or anixous about becoming another product of circumstances or norms to be wholly.

This autobiography is the story of cheer survival in war torn Germany. Escaping the Eastern Zone, survival in the West before immigrating to the land of freedom, the USA. Joy and appreciation of the freedom of the new immigrant combined with selfless hard labor. Talents and gifts brought from the old world to contribute and enrich their adoptive land. Survival and adventure was to be the theme of my story, heritage for my descendants. More though this immigrant heritage was to enrich the United States of America. This story lay dormant for many years in a life of hard toil for everyday living. Arriving on the American shores, little could I have foreseen a life so rich in experiences and colorful to unfold. Granted were freedoms of choice for a satisfying career as an artist, raising a family, contributing to community and country. Many honors surprised me such as Marquis Who's Who in American Women, Marquis Who's Who in America, Marquis Who's Who in America Art, International Woman of the Year and many more. "The Immigrant" is everyone's heritage. May it be enjoyed. May it be thought provoking about everyone's roots. May there be grace and thanks in a fulfilling life.

She seemed extraordinarily shy at first; perhaps you could even say she was elusive in a bizarre sort of way. But something compelled me to persist in my quest to finally meet this girl and maybe establish a relationship with her. As I finally did get to know her, it didn't take long to discover that she was anything but shy. In fact, she was actually quite wicked in a naughty sort of way. As our relationship blossomed into what seemed to me to be nothing more than a fling, I was startled to learn that she had somehow fallen in love with me in just a few days. I guess you could say I was somewhat suspicious with her revelation, so I sought to discover what was really happening in her life that would lead her to make such a commitment. Unraveling her cloak of secrecy though occurred at an agonizingly tedious pace and with seemingly calculated disclosures. It was as if she wanted me to know what she wanted me to know when she wanted me to know it. I was being manipulated; I knew it, but I couldn't pry myself away from her. What was her secret? I continued to follow her to discover her secret, but in doing so, I'd find myself in the grips of a bizarre, alternate reality beyond all reason. My concept of life itself would take on an entirely new meaning. A new meaning twisted beyond the deepest depths of the human imagination. Would I ever discover her ultimate secret?
