True, I have the actual newspaper print of his column about the passing of Secretariat nicely framed and preserved on the wall to my immediate left.

Man O'War by Dorothy Ours was a fantastic book and I highly recommend it.

I even got my friend to have the author speak at a meet & greet the author at the local Library (Hunterdon County, NJ) as she lives near by. Her presentation was a canned presentation about Man O'War and included some neat photos but afterwards there was a great dialouge about the racing. Much to my surprise there were about 20 - 25 people there, in a county where there are only 1 or 2 places you can get a racing form. Some people actually drove up from the Philly area to attend, about an hour.
