Note from the buddy back home

Dave Mueller of Boise was one of the first people to learn that Grady was going in the Army, and one of the first to know he'd been wounded. He wrote to share these thoughts:

I was Grady's lifelong pal for his all-too-short life. As I read Boocoo Dinky Dow, I felt like I was reliving my own life, Grady's Dad, Zeke, showed up at my house late the day after Grady was shot to share the news with my family. It was evening none of my family will forget. I had a high draft number, so knew I would never be drafted. But after Grady's experience my Dad swore he'd send me to Canada if I ever was. He was old signal Corpsman that was in the Anzio Invasion during WWII and hated the experience. He loved Grady and Grady carried his talisman throughout his Boocoo Dinky Dow. I can't express enough my gratitude to Julie Titone for putting this experience to the written word. Grady is always in my heart and this book captures the irreverent, wry humor that was Grady C. Myers.
