To the Editor:

I love this new book, “Ready for Sea.” Part of the reason why is that I decided to reach out to a dozen of the knuck- leheads I remember by sending them a copy of this book. Maybe you think this is a good deed I did for them but guess what…it was the other way around. I got back in the mail some of the most touching letters and notes…we made connections again after all these years. So as usual, I got back much more than I gave. You may want to try it. It wasn’t a brilliant idea but man did it work!
