VERANDA TURBINE is published

Lee

Now after those excerpts I can hardly wait for my read.

"......Ms. Veranda will see you now......."

The mailman left the comfort of his car to trudge up my driveway in a blizzard just to deliver my copy of Veranda Turbine A Life to my door!!  He knew this was the most important delivery of the year!!  

Just flipping trough it a bit, it looks great!  Lee, you must have been working on this for a long time.  My wife thought it was great when I explained what you have been doing.  She says you have a great imagination!  She also likes your puns.  

Thank you!  I did work on it quite a long time, including going through it six times looking for mistakes and typos, which was not enough.  There are still a few typos, minor ones like in any book, that don't bother me that much, but I must have had a brain hiccup when I was proofing page 72, because there are two embarrassing mistakes that I knew better:  I refer to a toy locomotive that is clearly a 4-6-2 in Plate 24 as a 2-6-4, and worse, several lines below that if refer to Madison Hardware as having been on 34th Street, when I knew it was on 23rd - I think I got confused - I used to walk to it from Grand Central Station on 34th when I would come into the city.  

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it.  And yes, I had a lot of fun with the puns and jokes.  

Lee:  I received my copy of Veranda today.  Thank you ever so much for creating this work.  Now, I need to find some time to read the book.  Bob S.

Finished reading it Sunday. No doubt a lot of research and ton of your imagination Lee. I enjoyed it especially the tongue in cheek references, my favorite of course the "jewels".

UPS just dropped my copy off. A quick look, flipping pages, I'm impressed. Great work. I think we maybe seeing the next Stephen King, Ernest Hemingway in literature. And to think/remember I seen it all unfold. Something to pass on to my grandchildren, childrens.

Kidding aside, great work Lee.
