 I just added this to my Proposal, Market Analysis. If you're a young person, goggle the name. I believe this is big. Francis Gary Powers, Jr, who founded the Cold War Museum and whose father gained U2 fame, agreed to put my book cover in the museum newsletter and push the book. newday11

No need for me to look up the name; the Powers incident was huge in Cold War history (for those of us old enough to remember it.) Great endorsement! Karma & Congrats.  ~ A~ |

Even I remember Powers, and my long term memory is limited to useless facts and baseball statistics (prior to 1980)
So way to go Newday, just one major or minor fact, where is this Cold War Museum (I hope it is located in a warm environment)

(I even remember sitting under our desk with our heads between our knees, as if that would protect us from a nuclear blast. I grew up in Utah, I don't think we had any sites worth the commies time)

(I even remember sitting under our desk with our heads between our knees, as if that would protect us from a nuclear blast. I grew up in Utah, I don't think we had any sites worth the commies time) I spent my childhood split between Belfast, Ireland and Forest park, Illinois (We had a Navy Base in town there, the mall was a torpedo plant) If it wasn't the commies, it was somebody else ... I remember spending more time beneath my desk than I do sitting behind it! My maiden name is Rusk ... I used to get picked on in school because they'd call me "Husky Rusky." Ah, memories. BTW, I wanna know where the cold war Museum is too. |

 hear him at http://www.coldwar.org/museum/museum_features.htmlfrom Wikipedia: In 1996, Powers founded the Cold War Museum and Memorial to honor Cold War Veterans and preserve Cold War history. Currently, a mobile exhibit travels internationally that displays historical artifacts associated with the U-2 Incident of May 1960. The traveling exhibit promotes interest in the creation of a permanent Cold War Museum that will exhibit artifacts and memorabilia associated with various Cold War events from the end of World War II to the collapse of the Soviet Union. In conjunction with the Museum, a Cold War Memorial will honor the men and women who worked, fought, sacrificed, and died during the Cold War from 1945 to 1991. The Junior Chamber of Commerce selected him as one of 'Ten Outstanding Young Americans' for 2002.[2] He lectures internationally and appears regularly on the History, Discovery, and A&E Channels

Francis Gary Powers, Jr, who founded the Cold War Museum and whose father gained U2 fame, agreed to put my book cover in the museum newsletter and push the book. newday11 THAT IS MAJOR! I didn't know there was such a museum. I don't have to google since I'm old enough to remember the Powers incident. Gad, I'm so old! Good one, Lee. This might take a little time to come together, but when it does, you'll be a huge seller. Have you narrowed down the agents you'd think best? Be careful and study what they're doing carefully. It could mean the difference between $10,000 advance and $100,000 advance. I'm so proud of you, I could just spit. Well, maybe not spit. |
