Dear Mr. Pallies,

I just bought the paperback version of your book from Amazon. As soon as I saw the cover photo of the Falls, I knew I needed to learn more about the story itself. Its first two chapters hooked me. All this by clicking on your profile at Bonner Private Research, where you were kind enough to "like" one of my recent posts!

I'm a Cornell grad, Class of 1969, as is my elder daughter, Class of 2001. I grew up in Olean, NY, about 100 miles west of Trumansburg.

May I ask for your preferred e-mail address? Mine is eadealan@gmail.com.

Best regards,

Alan Eade

Mr. Eade

Thanks for giving my book a shot! I hope you like it. I laughed as I read your note, because after reading a ton of advice on covers (which all seemed to point in a different direction), I went with the falls picture anyway.

Is Olean as pretty as so much of upstate NY? My wife and I have a vacation coming up soon and in addition to the Ithaca/Trumansburg area we are planning to stay in Watkins Glen and Canandaigua as well. Maybe next time we'll go further west.

I fell in between your daughter and you, geaduating in 1982. Does it seem to you like so much has changed on campus?

Before I forget, I prefer to go by "Tim."

And thanks again!

Tim
