HI KAREN
I GOT THE BOOK YESTERDAY AND FINISHED READING IT YESTERDAY. I HAVE NOT READ A BOOK FOR YEARS BECAUSE I HAVE VERY BAD EYE SIGHT. I CAN NOT EVEN TELL YOU WHY I GOT INTERESTED IN MY FUNNY DAD HARRY BUT FROM THE MOMENT I CAME ACROSS YOUR BLOG I WAS SO INTO IT. A FEW ALIKE THINGS I WAS BORN FEB.15,1947. HARRY PASSED AWAY ON FEB. 16 AND WAS MARRIED IN 1947, MY FIRST DOG WAS BROWNIE. NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT MY FILING SYSTEM BUT ASK ME AND I CAN FIND WHAT YOU WANT IN A FEW MINUTES. I TRULY ENJOYED THE BOOK. HARRY WAS A SPECIAL PERSON AND SO ARE YOU, YOU WATCHED OVER HIM SO WELL. I STILL NEED TO KNOW WHAT HIS FAVORITE ZOO ANIMAL WAS AND HIS FAVORITE BOOK I COULD NOT EVEN GUESS AFTER READING THE BOOK AFTER JUNE 1 I WILL SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THE BOOK ON MY BLOG. THANKS AGAIN

She also posted a review of the book on her blog at http://countrypictures.blogspot.com. Very nice of you, thanks!
