I’m the librarian at Drug Policy Alliance and I recently read the USA Today article about your book. I definitely wanted to get it for our collection for obvious reasons. On a more personal note, I feel that far too many people are unfamiliar with U.S. government drug experimentation on unwitting/unwilling subjects, and for that matter, the long-standing interest in and stockpiling and deployment of chemical weapons by the U.S. military.
Congratulations on your book. I look forward to receiving it.

It was good to hear from you. I expect to really enjoy your book. I have ordered a hard cover deluxe edition. My problem with the security check was that my web browser was configured to reject "cookies". I changed the setting to accept your "cookie" and then the order went through.
We had some interesting and exciting experiences at Edgewood. I had not thought about them recently, until I read an article yesterday in our local newspaper, the Oshkosh Northwestern, titled "Army Drug Tests Revealed." I immediately recognized your name as the author of "Chemical Warfare: Secrets Almost Forgotten." The address of your website was not mentioned in the article, but a Google search found the site easily. Your website is very good. Browsing it brought back many memories.
After I have read the book, I will send you some comments. Perhaps we can chat by E-mail about our former colleagues and mutual experiences in the Psychopharmacology Branch.

I was astounded, overwhelmed, and thoroughly amazed upon receiving your incredible "Work of Art". First of all, I never knew of your educational background (other than 144 and FHHS; ...Secondly, I never knew of your chosen profession: and thirdly, I never knew that your brilliance would achieve authorship of such an outstanding literary contribution!
The book, itself, is one that should be on EVERY medical professional's desk! No, as yet, I haven't ventured to read it in its entirety but glancing though I am intrigued by your coverage of, in your words, chemical warfare! Your illustrations, your graphs and your insight prove that you are one super author!
Jim(my), thank you so much for your personal inscription. It means a lot to me. And, of course, your gifting me with the book actually brought me to tears (and, I don't cry too easily). After glancing through, I immediately ran to my picture collection and lo and behold, there it was! OUR graduation picture from 144...and there you were - the handsomest boy in our class! Yes, I remember you when...but, now is not the time to go into all that.
This letter is my way of expressing my gratitude to you for not only the book, but, more than that, for someone up there who brought us together as kids and who, somehow, has kept our friendship going...I am proud to call you my friend...You have become as outstanding today as you were back in our school days....You were someone whom everyone admired. You had it all. looks, brains and personality!....What more could anyone ask? And, you knew where you were headed. that was quite evident!
Congratulations of your literary masterpiece... It reflects YOU!
May you have good health, happiness and the best of times for the rest of your life. I wish these for you and your wife...a very lucky lady!
