Bob,
I'm eager for your opinion on the book. And thank you for the story about Chief Quartermaster Mazzuchi. I was thinking about the Mantle thing yesterday while at the ballgame at Yankee Stadium. I'd known he was a baseball fan, and that he came from upstate New York, so should have figured he loved The Mick (although in those days Mantle was a favorite all around the country).
Somewhere in a carton in my attic is a long tape recorded interview with SCPO Robert McCLain (who I just very sadly heard passed away in May). He had some great stories about Mazzuchi. I have to find that.
Best, Jerome
