This Book was written by a Tom Shipp a Cousin of mine through my mothers family tree surname Faus. I only found him in 1998 he had already passed on but I talked with his son. What is interesting is the fact that I lived in Dallas in Lakewood From 1979 till 1999 and I could have met him before he passed on…I would have love to have met him and talked about Alcoholism Alcoholics Anonymous and Finding God/.
