I wanted to get to Matterhorn but it will have to wait until next year at this point.<br /><br />Sheila - I'm sorry that you missed the opportunity to talk to you dad about his experiences. Maybe reading some of these books would help you understand a bit about that part of his life.<br /><br />Beth F - I've heard that from other bloggers before - it is certainly a good reason to want to avoid these kinds of books.Heather J. @ TLC Book Tourshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10474181812740579350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-70034298408709872062010-12-12T07:57:21.859-05:002010-12-12T07:57:21.859-05:00Congrats on finishing.

I hope you and Dad have some great talks about it - love that books can spark deep conversations. I myself am looking forward to reading that famous O'Brien book.
