"I didn't think mine was a great story, but now I'm not so sure!"
~Bob Gooding, 89 years young

"Francis was able to be the mouthpiece for my ailing father and has enshrined his life in a brilliantly written biography. Outside my memory it is probably the most tangible evidence of my father's brilliant life and existence to me."
~Joe Stephan
