In the early 2000s, I partnered with Doc to write a 92,000+ word manuscript for a probably-never-to-be-published Western novel based on an original idea of his: "The Six-Pointed Star, or Levy's Last Gamble," was its working title.

Took us almost a year and half to get through all of the drafts and we did it all through email correspondence and a few phone calls. We only met once,around Chapter 16, at a Pizza Hut in Seaford, Md. He traveled up from Virginia and I traveled down from South Jersey. He brought his favorite Colt Peacemaker with him, on featured in his books.

I know he shared with finished effort with a few of the people who post here regularly.

He was a heck of a guy. My own Dad was once a Bac Si too in 'Nam.

I will miss him. He was a talented writer and had a great imagination. A wonderful story teller.
