Here are the contents of this month’s newsletter:
1) Starting a new blog series: Where Was Phil Larimore 80 Years Ago Today?
Assuming these blogs get a good reception (meaning that folks like you read and like them), I’m planning to do a blog on most days of the next 18 months following my father’s exploits and adventures during WWII. Each day’s blog will represent what he and the men with whom he was fighting were doing 80 years ago on the exact day of the blog.
Could I ask a favor? Could you let friends and family who are WWII aficionados know about the blog? They can sign up for it at www.DrWalt.com. Below are a few examples, although they likely won’t post until the day listed.
2) Wreaths Across America honors my father
My family and I are so grateful to the volunteers and donors at Wreaths Across America for honoring my father and those heroes buried with him. They do this every Christmas season at every military grave across the country. Amazing. I hope you’ll consider an annual donation to them. You can donate here.
3) “The Man Bullets Couldn’t Stop”
This last month I had a delightful interview with a producer at New 6 Orlando in Florida about At First Light and my father based upon some recently discovered research. The web posting is titled, ‘The man that bullets couldn’t stop:’ Author writes book of his father’s WWII heroism . I hope you enjoy the article.
4) “Ask Dr. Walt” columns in Today’s Christian Living magazine
I enjoy being penning a bi-monthly column for the readers of Today’s Christian Living magazine. But I forgot to give y’all the links to the last three columns, so here they are.
5) Great interview Feedback
I did two podcasts with Dr. Marissa Pei, who calls herself the “Asian Oprah.” I enjoyed both, despite some technical issues at the beginning of the first one. I was delighted when a friend sent me the following feedback that Dr. Pei had placed on her website:
I have had over a thousand guests on my award-winning show “Take My Advice, I’m Not Using It: Get Balanced with Dr. Marissa” over the past 600 consecutive weeks on the air/on camera, and I have to say, Dr. Walt Larimore will be remembered as one of my top 8 (By the way, 8 is a lucky number in Chinese … a homophone for Good Fortune).
The hour flew by with his amazing story/stories of his beloved father, whose heroic experiences in WWII were aptly conveyed to my amazed and appreciative audience, and left the host/producer, yours truly in tears multiple times.
And just to put things in perspective, I am asked to interview authors every day, and at the risk of sounding bratty, I usually ask them not to send me a copy because I don’t have time to read, but I really can’t wait to listen to At First Light.
Oh, and of the thousand guests, I have only asked a handful of them back for an encore interview … but guess who is coming back next week …”
