Hi,
My name is Dena Schaffer and I’m the founder of Opening Windows: Virtual Book Tours. Opening Windows is very excited to announce that this November it will be launching the “Dear Coach: Letters Home from WWII” virtual book tour!
Authored by Lois Herr, “Dear Coach” is the story of Elizabethtown College’s, legendary coach Ira Herr, and the men and women athletes of 1937-1946. More than just a collection of letters “Dear Coach” is the scrapbook of an extended family dealing with a war that forced a generation to grow up overnight.
Congratulations! Opening Windows has hand-picked your website as a potential host for one of the “Dear Coach” VBT’s stops. If you’re interested in becoming a tour stop host please let us know! We’re eager to team up with your blog and create a following for this heartfelt book.

I am curious about how your father left this earth. Your story telling is lovely. I have some love letters of my own. I lost my dear mother many years ago and am doing some research on the war.

My dad became afflicted with Alzheimer’s in the late ’80s and finally got to leave all that torture and disability in April of ’95.
His Anna Mae, mom to me, left us in January of 2003. I write about my last non-hospital visit with her here: http://www.okieonthelam.com/2005/09/20/the-low-sound-of-rolling-thunder/.
Thanks for reading!
