PS: I think that war, humanity, and the true cost and nature of war are 
questions which are more timely than ever and, unfortunately, may become 
even more timely. I know that your Dad's writing are both your family's 
legacy and property and it is clearly up to you what use is made of them. 

Having said all that I think it would be great if something could be done to 
share them with a larger audience. I can hear the sections of his journal 
being mixed with music and narration and being turned into a radio 
documentary or podcast. I can see his writing being mixed with music and 
historic film clips making it into a short film or TV documentary or 
something for YouTube. 

I hate the phrases "just saying," or "It's only an idea." Your Dad's writing 
as powerful and his work is an important document which deserves wider 
distribution. If you ever had a chance to do that I would urge you to take 
it. I certainly think that there are some radio producers in the United 
States who could be interested in working with his writings. 

Thanks,

Barney
