Old Friend and Making a Difference! Frank, I have found your book to be an enlightening piece of work; loaded with some real action and brow-wetting missions. It has been both and honor and joy to work some "missions in the mountains" with you, and I look forward to the next time our paths cross. Major Al Hayes and Jane: Another unsung hero that goes quietly into the night and retirement. He will be hand in hand with the First Lady of Marine EOD, Miss Jane. They both walked the walk and talked the talk as they set the example for all to follow. "Just got my copy of the Detonator and found page 62 brought back a few memories. Thank you for the kind words. I can laugh about the crapper now, but it wasn't as amusing back in the day....Semper Fi. Al" I have had the privilege of reading the excerpt
and very much enjoyed it. You are an excellent writer who is able to capture the reader from the beginning.
"Dear Frank...It is well written and for me
an exciting account of what great Marines like yourself do to contribute to the safety and freedom of our country. I
am honored to know you. Dr. Wolfe (our family Doctor that keeps me ticking)" Hats off to all of our medical
personnel. It is world wide knowledge that we Marines take care of our "Doc"
I read your article in the
Detonator and your warnings for signs of health issues, and your emphasis on the omission of PPE and its delayed long
term effects. Thank you for your focusing of our attention to PPE and its serious concerns. Actually
this message is to extend my regards for your continued recovery and for a safe Thanksgiving. (I met you on the range
during an AT-solutions demo in Tucson.)
CAPT Skinner; Hello from the past. I was in FAST Co. 5th PLT, SSGT Goodnoh and LT Bill Cope, you taught us CQB at Qauntico 1988. Always wondered what became of you, Gunny Devers, and SGT Bolan. I came across your book this week which I intend to purchase and read. Thanks for being a great teacher and a mentor. Many of the skills you taught us have kept me alive and still in the hunt. I often tell stories of the stress test you ran us through and the 5'45" mile you ran. Frank: I just finished reading
your article and really loved it, GREAT WORK!!! In the words of the prisoner in Monty Python’s Life of Brian,
“You lucky, lucky, bastard…”
"Thank you for sharing
your story with us, and thank you for all that you have done for our safety. You definitely made an impact on me and
how I must strongly continue my efforts to open the eyes and push forth the knowledge of awareness. You are now apart of the
retail family."
"Found your book at a shop in Fredericksburg. Bought it. Read it in one sitting. Loved it. Recommended it to other prior service people, even some who were not Marines. Will there be another volume? More stories please." "Received your book today and have already
given it a quick read. Like your style of writing and instantly recognized your irreverent sense of humor.....Actually, I am quite proud of resurrecting the MTT
(having been one of the original six in the early seventies) and selling the concept of using the MTT as a response
team in addition to a training entity-much to the consternation of the politicos." Comment from author...True unsung hero. This fine gent and leader spent 444 day as the Ayatollah's
guest at the Iranian Embassy. We will never know his suffering. We do know his courage.
