Brian,
I received and read your book "My Paradise Lost" over the holidays and thoroughly enjoyed it. It brought back many memories of my own youth, growing up in a small eastern college town. While you were getting chased by the "zonie" police, we were getting chased by the campus cops (they couldn't catch us) or the town police (they could!), and then there were the mini-bikes and go-carts racing around the back field as well as the endless exploration of the creeks and ponds I grew up around. Then the trials and tribulations of high school and college days. I admire your talent for writing. Thanks for the memories.
Tom
