BECAUSE YOU HAVE FLOWN

Submitted by Kathleen Rodgers on March 20, 2013 - 14:59



From the book Because I Fly, published by McGraw-Hill, 2002.

 

 I wrote Because You Have Flown in 1987 as a tribute to a friend after he was permanently grounded for medical reasons. Today, I dedicate this poem to my husband, Tom. On 21 March, 2013, he will fly his last flight after flying airplanes for 43 years. 

 

 

Tom,

May the Lord give you

strength

to wing out in new

directions;

to seek other horizons

My non-fiction military history book Kontum: The Battle to Save Vietnam won the Colby Award, which includes a $5,000 author's honorarium.


It was published by the University Press of Kentucky in September 2011. The award will be presented to me at the William E. Colby Military Writers Symposium at Norwich University in April 2013.

A Busy Year Ahead

My wife Cyndi lovingly refers to my office as, “The Factory” at night.  That is exactly what it is – a writing factory.  This year is already a big year for me as an author and it is going to only get bigger.  I thought I would share with you what is coming.
