Playing for Time by Capt. Lodwick H. Alford [ No Rating ] 13 May 2006
I wanted to be the first to post a review of this book, but I have to admit that I have only read short passages of it in my stolen glances at it on the desk in his study. He always told me to "wait until it's published". He once said, " You know, I had to wait for a lot of people to die before I could write this book." Well, I can tell you that certainly got my interest piqued! So, they must be gone because here's the story, finally!!!!
Dad, here's to you and your wonderful talent!!! Love, Tandy
I most heartily advise everyone who can get their hands on a copy to do so, especially at a booksigning by the author.
