Dear Mr. Charles Deemer,
I stumbled across Baumholder 1961 on Amazon, downloaded it to my Kindle, and only then realized that you must be the guy I knew at Monterey in 1960 as "Bob" Deemer, singing folksongs with Mel Chase and playing softball with Larry Knauff, Pete Gall, Marshall Bump et al. Your novella brought back a lot of memories, most of them actually good. While on active duty I carped and complained about the Army as much as anyone, but I look back on those 3 years now as an experience for which I'm actually grateful.
I just looked at your blog for the first time and see that you still follow college basketball closely. My hoop days are long over, and I can't tell you how much I miss them, but it's just too hard to dunk at age 75.
Thanks for the novella. I enjoyed it immensely.
This novella has worn very well with me. I consider it among my best works. (Available at both Amazon and Smashwords.)
