A big thanks to Ed Rasimus-

Just wanted to say thanks for writing a great book- a week ago I picked it
up in a bookstore on my way to Arizona. My mom was operated on for lung
cancer- took three hours. I was reading WTR the whole time and was totally
engrossed, with no time to worry. I'd call that some pretty good writing.
BTW- she's fine, came home from the hospital yesterday and the pathologist
says they got it all. Thanks again for taking my mind off my troubles,
Ed.
