I purchased this book when first published. While serving as a librarian, loaned my copy to my high school library, finally had to have professionally rebound. Looks like someone tore out a picture page at the front of the book, but according to the list of illustrations, nothing is missing. I was a sophomore in high school and in the band hall when his death was announced. I was totally immersed by these events and have followed most of the events that followed in his family. Have a collection of pictures of the family. To protect the rebound book, made a book jacket with picture, in color, of caisson, and added some additional pictures to book from my personal files. ( )

But the fact won't be wished away and the long night remains, not a bad dream, but a reality to haunt us all the days of our lives. --Saul Pett
