My grandmother Sarah Sturm (her parents were Geroge Sturm and Emma Jordan) grew up with Ernie Pyle. Both the Jordan and Sturm Farms surrounded the Pyle Farm. I had heard so many stories about Ernie growing up and was thrilled to find this book. It is an easy read. I loved it and would love to know if the author is still alive? My greataunt Keene Sturm is pictured with Ernie Pyle in a school photo in the book. I would recommend this book to anyone who has ever read any of Mr. Pyle's books
