The Four Little Children

<I>During my time away I included in letters to Sybil stories that she could read to our children. I felt that they would be thrilled to read of adventures that included themselves as the primary characters. Fortunately Sybil saved all of my letters which after these many years I have finally compiled.</p>Those times were much more difficult for Sybil than for me. She had to raise four little children and worry about me too. It was even more difficult for her as she was living in a civilian environment where most people's contact with the Vietnam conflict was to read about it in the papers or watch the protests on television. She worried about losing a husband. Family a few close friends and the nightly news got her through a difficult time in our lives.</I></P>--from the foreword to <I>The Four Little Children</I> by <B>Larry Michalove</B></P><P>He didn't write about the war or the 114 combat missions he flew earning him the Distinguished Flying Cross and eight air medals.
