Sirs,
Am glad to make your acquaintance and am ready to discuss anything you want to bring to the table. Mr. T, I was pleasantly surprised to hear you were in the neighborhood-truly a small world we live in.
Cracked open Evans' "Sea of Thunder" last night-while he reveals nothing new, he is very readable. Any thoughts on the subject? Am a great admirer of Ray Spruance, but also have respect for Halsey despite his shortcomings-he was only human after all.
