You spoke beautifully and I never could have guessed you were nervous. Your story sounds amazing and I can’t wait to read it. So much disconnect exists within generations who have never experienced war and those who survived it. Stories can bridge the connection and hope mistakes are not repeated by the younger generations. I’m honored I got to hear the beginnings in such a raw and wonderful way. Also take comfort in knowing that the career of a writer now begins after retirement more often than with the graduation of college.

Thank you for you words of encouragement.
I'm glad I got pull your name out of the hat! We all loved it, and wished we could tell our stories without the safety of the page.
