If and when we really do retire, will have to carry a U-Haul filled with books that we want to "get to"....either that, or find a universal Library Card.... Sounds like your trip was fun and relaxing! Re Duty by Bob Greene, Amazon Editoral Reviewer says this in part: amazon.com Duty is the story of three lives connected by history, proximity, and blood; indeed, it is many stories, intimate and achingly personal as well as deeply historic. In one soldier's memory of a mission that transformed the world-and in a son's last attempt to grasp his father's ingrained sense of honor and duty-lies a powerful tribute to the ordinary heroes of an extraordinary time in American life. What Greene came away with is found history and found poetry--a profoundly moving work that offers a vividly new perspective on responsibility, empathy, and love. It is an exploration of and response to the concept of duty as it once was and always should be: quiet and from the heart. On every page you can hear the whisper of a generation and its children bidding each other farewell. The Spotlight and Customer Reviews are also worth reading too....
