Ze052-02 a section of the Ft. Mills (Corregidor Island) 1936 Facility Drawing showing the Abbott Trail road between intersections 91 to 94 via 93. EXO and I walked this road, trail about 10 years ago and I remember the walk distinctly because we surprised 2 men sawing a good size tree and they run when they noticed us. It was also a difficult walk because the trail was grown over bad at many places and note; we did not see anything noteworthy on that trail. Re the sawing of the tree, we were told, it was to repair a structure.

Ze051.-01 our first reaction was: Never Heard of It, but it exists. This is a copy of the list of Class A Roads Surfaced Wide 25 Feet on the Ft. Mills 1936 Facility Drawing; intersections 91, 93, 94 are part of it.

Ze043. 09. Books were available with a 10 % discount and I bought a copy, The attack on the USS Liberty book, I got already because the author sent me a signed copy. He indeed is a Gentleman. Picture credit to Mr. Curtis Sorrell.

Ze042. 08. After the question and answer period the author signed books. I did not have to wait because he sent me signed copy already. But I did buy a copy of the book Target Tokyo. The hall was very full and the staff had to get many more chairs. So the line was too long and I skipped the signing of my Target Tokyo book. Photo credit to the Philippine Heritage Library.

Ze041. 07. The author signed a book even before the presentation started, I also had a chance to say hello. He had sent me a personal invitation.

Ze048. 18. Karl was a happy camper at the book launch of Rampage: MacArthur, Yamashita, and the Battle of Manila by James Scott. 12th Feb. 2019. I was happy; that I made it and that the family came. After all, the author invited me, and my friend Lou Jurika encouraged me strongly. See his book critique at the front of this thread.
