Congrats for tomorrow. What an honor!!
Forgive my flippant answer to you, I was more inclined to give a cryptic clue for the CG.
I pulled out my 1976 edition of “Who was Who in American History-The Military” to look up this author. He’s not listed.
I volunteered to help Nikos out by posting the correct answer every day. I have to wait for Nikos to post. Since I work I have to check periodically on workdays.
