 Joe, the Web Index page at the end of the book has been "haunting" me as I failed to go thru during my last 2 proofings as I considered it "done."  So, this morning I started the daunting task of matching each of the foot note numbers with a number in the index.  It all looked good until I started the search and find for 61.  I had entered two 60's in the book instead of a 60 and a 61.  Imagine that, the very last one I searched on was wrong.  So now the book has a 61 instead of a 60 after your Liberty Day Challenge in the Afterword.

I would have been sick if that had been found after the printing after I had consciously decided I  "had already" proofed that once.

Another thing that I am going to mention is that we give Thomas Paine multiple references in the Web Index page; however, we do not give references for Henry Ford's words, while we do give reference for George Bush's words.  I think we talked about this a little early on and you were OK with it (as in giving the reader something to do if they want to find the links on the internet), but I want to ask you to be sure you are still good with the web index as is.  I could contain more references. It would take a little work and a little renumbering, probably another complete re-read to find the things that should be referenced and then incorporating the references.  In my mind, the only thing this effort would add to the book would be to make the book more "academically" accurate (as if I know anything about academic accuracy). I am good with whatever you want to do.  I am bringing it up now because it would bother me if I didn't make sure you were satisfied. 

I will go ahead and send the pdf, but if you decide you want any more changes, just say so.

I remember you telling me about your daughter's friend's mother.  That is absolutely horrible.  A nightmare.  To have your mother and wife missing and to have 12 badges show up and ransack ones home. 

I am sorry for your brother as well.  That is a very sad and unexpected way to loose a loved one.
