Signed by the author in thin black felt pen, at the bottom of title page, beneath his printed name, and in a loop of his last name, he has added the date (wrongly as "9-8-19"), done in my presence at Left Bank Books in Saint Louis on Monday, September 9, 2019, after a delightful conversation which he started with what it s like to be a writer, using scenes from "ET" & "2001-Space Odyssey" to explain his emotions. He read the "Prologue" because "I really like it" and joyfully answered questions. What a wonderfully different experience!. Signed by Author(s).
