Rory, another profound statement. What a wonderful experience immersing in the lives of so many colorful, interesting and loving characters both in Eric's Story and now Rory's story. I feel like I am losing some wonderful friends at the end of this story. I wanted the friendship with these wonderful guys to last much longer. I will truly miss them, but will think of them often. You have done a wonderful job inviting us into the lives of such unique and different people. The caring demonstrated between them and the love you depict between them with such great passion is totally amazing to me. You are such a gifted writer, and I bet, if the truth be known, a very passionate and caring person yourself. Your writing certainly reflects that. I am still enjoying Country Cousins, but I have can't thank you enough for your gifted writing and the true enjoyment I have experienced from reading Alameda, Eric's Story and Rory's Story. I am off to read the next one in the order your gave us. I just wish I had had the opportunity to be a friend of all these guys. What a wonderful group of guys to have lived with and care about. Keep writing, my friend. It brings such great joy.There is no question that there are many places besides Alameda where genetic, social, and climatic diversities mix and produce interesting lives, where ecology in its broadest sense stirs the people pot. The world is a big place and, while Elgar's strains seldom remind us anymore, the land of hope and glory lies all around. Almost anywhere runaways can find homes; wasted lives can be made productive; and damaged and hurt people can find solace if not always love. It happens every day.
