"I just finished your book. I loved it so much. You were such a strong influence on Dave and my life. I always respected your opinion and your knowledge. It was so touching to read about how you were raised and everything that you had been through to become the man that became my favorite teacher. All of us kids in JROTC loved you like a father."

   "We started thumbing through it as soon as we got it. I wasn't expecting an actual publication (Wine Press)! This is a real-quality-book you put together. I'll be leaving it out on my coffee table for years to come as a snapshot of a portion of my heritage. This really means a lot to me."

   "Thank you for sending a copy of Our Walk with God to me and my stepfather. I gave it to him and watched him tear up. I mentioned your miraculous survival rate and he divulged he lost three men under him. It's a blessing that he opens up now."                                                                  Nicole, Mount Pleasant, SC

   "Major, I just finished reading Our Walk with God, and yes, before my week of school vacation! Your story is remarkable.... Your walk has truly been God-filled. The number of lives you've touched, and changed, must be countless. Mine is one of them. I was trying to explain to a friend why meeting up with you again was so important to me and the only explanation I could offer was that you saved my life that first year you were at Concordia.... I found structure and honesty and truth. In your own way you showed me that all of life did not have to match the chaos of my home life."                               Chris, Silver Lake, IN

   "I received your book yesterday at about noon and opened it to just take a peek. Well, it's noon the next day and I have finished it... When I started reading it was almost as if I was having a visit with you and Julia....I always say the best part about life is the people you know, and you two were and are very special in the life I've lead."                                                           Charlie, Watertown, NY

   "I am sad to confess that I am a very slow reader but this one I didn't put down until I finished it. What a joy to read the words of a man so committed to his God and how the Lord's plan for his life led him to literally flee for his life from the Communists and end up totally alone in America and then everything that unfolded from then on. A great story!"
