“I read “River of Hope” last night. The whole book. Could not put it down. Your writing allows me to feel deeply the frustration, anger, angst… soft, lovely humor.. and incredible, deep love you and Kathy had/have for one another. Throughout the story I never picked up on sense of fear—only strong hearts and strong minds on the battlefront of ALS.”
—Mary McManus, Eau Claire, Wis

•••

“I have been deeply touched and moved. It is a real and poignant love story.”
—Charles Sorensen, chancellor, University of Wisconsin-Stout

"There are very few GOOD books about ALS ... Here is another GOOD one. This is a really interesting story with some experiences different from mine.
--Eric Edney, author of "Eric is Winning"

“You have caused me to reflect on my own spirit and how I might better honor my own wife in our day-to-day walk.”
—Michael Perry, best-selling author of "Population 485"

“After reading [“River of Hope”] I laid awake for many hours thinking of the courage and perseverance you and Kathy found to live life while doing battle with the ‘monster.’ I was struck by the terminal attitudes and the limited perspective of the medical establishment as you retained hope and found strength and courage to explore other options largely on your own. … I was inspired by your tenacious spirits and shared the joy you found from small victories along the way. Your hope, the problem solving, your discoveries and celebrations were so powerful. I laughed… and cried.”
—Bob Norbie, president/CEO Special Olympics Montana
