I Won a Book from Judy Young
Author Judy Young: Nov, I had a contest through the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. It was supposed to end the last day of the month but was extended by SCBWI to Dec. 15. And then, life and the holidays got in the way and I never announced the winner. But now, I want to announce that Mary Nida Smith is the WINNER of an autographed copy of book three in The Wild World of Buck Bray series: The Wolves of Slough Creek. Congrats, Mary!!! (Please message me your mailing address so I can get the book to you!) ttps://www.facebook.com/judy.young.7712

You have collected a wonderful assortment of submarine stories that truly tell the “rest of the story.” Thank you so very much!
The importance of your book rest in the fact that those American Sailor were able to tell their “story.” Your book completes the vivid history of our Submarine Force.
Thanks so much for your most wonderful efforts. Please know that your book
has been a highlight of my association with SubVets of WWII over so many years.
