Run for Recognition, not Personal Prestige November 12, 2001

The authors select their characters that are not characters, but in fact, human beings with the attributes that people around the world need to know exist(ed). They are real and represent not just themselves, but those they love and that which they treasure; happiness, freedom, love and living!

We all have our strifes and struggles, as do these characters. We don't all achieve fame or fortune, but in the end, if we rest with peace, we have achieved success of a good life.

Congratulations to the authors for yet again choosing their characters with those attributes so rarely found; strength, courage, and purpose.
