Michael, I hope you recover, and thanks for posting the link to my inadequate comments on a fine first book. I think the real reason Crawford left the Pentagon and retired to Chester New Hampshire for a quiet life of being an IT director and poetry teacher at a small college is transparent. He craved that glorious license plate that proclaims "Live Free Or Die."
Several years ago Wisconsin held a contest to create a state motto. The idiots in the legislature failed to adopt what should have been the clear winner: "Eat Cheese Or Die." In my peregrinations around New England I cried every time I saw a Quebec license: "Je me Souviens." The cheese-eating surrender monkeys will never get over Brave Wolf's victory over Montcalme on the Plains of Abraham.
