DIVING BUDDY'S HEAD BIT OFF BY GREAT WHITE SHARK

There I was all happy and excited that I was about to do another radio interview and then while waiting and listening through my handset to the show what do I hear but that a fellow freediver had been killed by Mr. Grey.

Well, I typed in sfgate.com to read more and was horrified to learn that he was a diving buddy! I'm still in shock. I'm in shock because he was a friend and because I was planning on going on this dive with him Sunday: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/gate/archive/2004/08/16/shark16.DTL

Randy Fry, 50, will be deeply missed not only for his good cheer and livening up a dive, but for all that he had done for the Recreational Fishing Alliance in California. My deepest condolences to his fiance, too. . .

CORK GRAHAM OFFERS SPECIAL TO IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN VETERANS, AND SERVICEMEN AND WOMEN

Got family or friends serving in overseas? Well, I remember what it was like when I was stuck in a Vietnamese prison and later when I was on some base hidden in the jungles of Central America, wishing I had something worthwhile to read.

So, I've just created a special offer for anyone who has a loved one serving in the military. Yes, I'm offering limited editions of my book "The Bamboo Chest: An Adventure in Healing the Trauma of War" to those who come to the webpage: For OUR TROOPS Special OFFER 50% OFF!

Thought it very appropriate, especially considering what my memoir is about, and what the servicemen and women will have confronting them when they get back. . .something only one who has been there can really understand. . .so few do. . .Thank God for the opportunity for those who need to, to write. . .

My memoir/adventure narrative, The Bamboo Chest: An Adventure in Healing the Trauma of War, is available at amazon.com! And getting great reviews: gotta love those five stars!
