Please send additional information when available. My wife and I have read Invitation to Valhalla and we have Blood of the Reich ordered. We have always wanted to go to Europe and this sounds interesting.

Hi Mike
I’m a friend of Bob Downen in Shawneetown-have written a lot about local WWII and our veterans on my blog. You might find a few stories of interest.
Janet and I are interested in looking more into the Nov. ’12 tour starting in Lisbon and including Spain, North Africa.
Less interested in the European tour, but still would like to hear more there as well. Best Regards
Tom
We’re gonna get you over to one of our ‘bookclub’ meetings, which includes local writers, several who are published.
