I might like this sentence that you have created to replace the sentence we are discussing, what do you think?
Agreed on the change.
So, let me know what you like better and I will incorporate accordingly
The sentence you invented flows very well so it is easier to read and therefore better by that measure, in my opinion, so use your sentence please.
Yes, I'd be happy to work with you on this effort. Pay or no pay, and I'd certainly want you to be paid as you are...the middle man...but will also be doing the actual work with the printer, right? Do you need help typing the pages?
OK, I have lost touch with Dan Slockett who is the son of the author, so I have to find him and ask him first. The book is an important, honest, account of what happened when thousands of airplanes full of bombs were sent over Germany to destroy so much, for reasons that were as false as any reason ever told for war. Those who fight the wars pay the costs, while those who lie do so for obvious reasons.
Dan's dad was a tail gunner in a B-17 bomber. The odds of survival for those people in those planes were low, not as low as the people who have those bombs falling on their heads, but the point of the book is honest records of what a human being thinks and feels in such times and places.
If no one ever hears the words spoken by the survivors then the option to listen to those words is no longer an option.
JOE, I am wondering if the end date of 2012 looks OK to you.
I think it is OK to leave it as it is, and it is just as OK to change it to 2013, or there may be another option such as the "the present" or some such open ended date.
What do you think about "the present," or words of similar meaning?
