It will help us to swell support for an expanded reunion as it is an excellent reading of the tragedy of Typhoon Cobra,it tells the harrowing tales of the survivors and the deceased and I believe it will generate support by bringing the readers to a "reunion".A great deal of credit goes to the authors:Bob Drury and Tom Clavin. Another fine author named Bruce Henderson is preparing a story on the typhoon to be published in November 2007. Keep posted. I have high hopes that the web site TyphoonCobra1944.net will be a source of instant information to our supporters by allowing us to keep the web site up to date in all respects.(" Keep the Faith !")
