Yes, I'm glad I have a hard copy of the book. After reading it, I thought to myself, "WOW! Wouldn't it be nice if others could read this story?" But, because of copyright laws, I couldn't share the book on line. As I was setting at the computer, I went to google.com and typed in the title of the book, then, BINGO there it was. It's nice that Henry puplished an online version. Now, anyone can read the same book, only they cannot copy or print it out. Debbie Noland Nitsche Philadelphia, PA.
