Hello Squad! 

I am soooo happy to have this website.  Feel like Dean on his first Essay ride.  My name is Ron Woodruff and I'm a 30 something Connecticut Yankee living in Chicago for the past 17 years.  Was a teacher in the inner city for 6 years, now work for Genworth Financial.  I've been devouring STARFIST since 1999.  I actually emailed Dan screaming when I thought he killed off Charlie Bass (actually, like Top, I knew he'd be back).  Luckily, Dan talked me off the ledge.  I have no military background but love Military Space Operas, and this one is the best!  My father-in-law is/was a Marine Sniper during the 'Nam.  From reading Starfist, I asked him sooo many questions about the Marines which he was MORE than happy to explain.  This series actually brought us closer and I actually got a real inside view of that chapter of his life.  HooRah!  I also love Force Recon as well as DemonTech, "Feed Me".  Let's hope DemonTech restarts.  I'm looking forward to many great conversations on a fantastic series.  Thanks to Mike for putting this site together!

Not a problem w/ me buying your books.  My wife thinks I'm nuts buying a hardback when all I have to do is wait a few months for the paperback to come out. HA!  Silly rabbit, paperbacks are for kids.  I can't WAIT for a Starfist book.  I must have it & devour it, no matter the cost.  Ok, got a little dramatic there but you get my point.  Dan & David, thank you so much for this great series.  You are already up there with Weber & Ringo, but in my opinion even higher...Heinlein baby!  Just one grunt's opinion.
