Mr. Farris, I was wondering if you were on the U.S.S. W. H. Gordon in the !940′s if you remember my father Howard G. Black ? He never really spoke of his duty but I believe he may have been a water tender. I have his little United States Coast Guard Bible with the ship information in it. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Walter J. Black

Joe, Just heard your interview on NPR. It rang some bells in me, but I didn’t “wake up” until your name was said. You remember I was the delivery boy for John Ryder at the A&P next door to your family’s store. The last time we met was at high school reunion years ago. Of course I will buy your book,
but only if you autograph it for me. How do we arrange that? Bob Duch

Wonderful! I love the cartoons, but am fascinated by the WWII watercolors. My dad was in the Coast Guard during WWII and he sketched the ship he was on and some other things; unfortunately the captain of the ship asked if he could have them and Dad gave them away. Joe, this is marvelous–thank you so much for sharing your talents. Anna
