In my own case. I was very happy to see that all of the important facts were left in and what had been deleted were only nonessentials. You did not worry either about every little error in grammar or sentence structure, but allowed the people to tel l theirstories in their own way, It is as if the reader is actually listening to them and because ofthis the book is alive! Thanks again for a great iob and for respecting people’s memories! Sincerely.
