A diverse collection of stories & other 'odds & ends'...
*L2L is my most recent book(s) available online, at Amazon...
Letters 2 Lance (2 volumes) -by Jack Dunsmoor / 2026
Appendixes: all 10 of them ...yikes! ...whoa! ...don't panic! ...explore & study!
1) ...because there wasn't enough room at the end of both volumes, to fit all (10) Appendixes in so much detail; in my 2 published (6" x 9" - softcover) books!
2) ...feel free to download or 'copy & paste' to your digital device of choice, for further study ...and then pledge to read one or more of the book titles listed therein, in the not so distant future! Please & thank you!
3) ...always remember to 'Read & Reassess before you Run Asunder!'
4) ...pass it forward! Or, share with a friend. Or, take it with you, wherever! Or, join a book club!
5) ...perhaps, read & regift to a (High School?!) library of your choice!
6) ...or, give it away to someone you might know, in need!
7) ...who might benefit from some helpful & supportive information; about so many people of all notions & nations who had the tenacity to express themselves, & then bravely decided to share their dissimilar situations, with a distinctively personal dose of healthy empathy, for the greater good!
Only the essays are different within each volume. The 'before & after' the 26 essays in each volume are the same; as well as the limited Appendix/Appendixes or Appendices at the end of each volume. So, these (20) pdf files listed here are the expanded versions of each Appendix.
*L2L - Appendix/Index Overview ...first 13 pages
Appendix 1 of 10 - Index of 1,000 Names
Appendix 2 of 10 - Postcard books (638 - with 5/sorted options)
Appendix 3 of 10 - Additional books (532 - sorted by chapter)
Appendix 4 of 10 - Films & TV shows (242 - sorted by chapter)
Appendix 5 of 10 - Websites (200+ - sorted by website/name)
Appendix 6 of 10 - Countries (77) & U.S. States & territories (52)
Appendix 7 of 10 - Acronyms (sorted by chapter)
Appendix 8 of 10 - 'Illustrations & Rights' ...listed by chapter
Appendix 9 of 10 - 'Illustrations & Rights' (Miscellaneous graphics & Australia photos)
Appendix 10 of 10 - L2L book/construction
*Please forgive me for the slightly different book/cover fonts & edge/bleed (rather than inset/framed) of the cover photo on Volume 2; while, both volumes are basically the same inside; with the first 26 essays in Volume 1 (#1-26) and the next 26 essays in Volume 2 (#27-52).
All within a mind-numbing number of pages, I might add. Still, for your reading pleasure, for however long it takes; yet <800 pages each & your unconditional and/or legitimate right not to have to read them all in one continuous session/setting or semester, perchance.
For example; read one essay every week for one year & see what happens!
Or, you could devise your own *prime directive to read my book(s) from cover-to-cover & somewhat slowly, I should say; so you can think about the persistent thing that might apply to your own persnickety situation!
*Now don't forget! Thanks very much!!
Base Oasis -finding my way home again! (2 volumes) -by Jack Dunsmoor / 2023
This is... a list of all the WWII Airmen mentioned in my book...
Base Oasis -finding my way home again!
Merry Christmas!
This is a story about some Christmas presents I tried to give to Luke, a homeless boy, but couldn't at first, until I persevered & found him in Foster Care!
Happy Birthday!
This is a story about some books I tried to donate to my great-nephew, Tyler's Middle School (out-of-state), but were all rejected ultimately when they were returned-to-sender, and I was devastated, until I persevered & found another local school that took my book donations!
“I never had a birthday party.”
Sad statement from a brilliant man with a latent propensity for music, who also had a slight limp that kept him out of the rank & file during WWII. Otherwise, a good-looking man with movie-star features & a technically sharp mind, which he put to good use as a dedicated impresario in the phantastic field of Music, as a virtuoso conductor, a renowned organ player & resourceful founder of the globally famous Paulist Choristers. Father Finn aka Father William Joseph Finn (FF) was an altogether distinctive celebrity on the international stage of choral music & a comprehensive Director, Manager, Administrator of the world-class boys’ choir (of 100+ members of both boys & men). Also, a devoted Catholic priest for more than 60 years, before his unfortunate & disreputable death, while residing with his saintly, caretaker niece in NYC in 1961. Still, nobody knows what happened exactly, except for FF.
Odessa High School
I recently visited Odessa High School & found my (1965) graduation picture on the wall, together with Principal, Jaime Nelson as my gracious tour-guide. I scouted nearby graduation pictures, to find familiar faces, with good or bad vocal reviews about their previous intents toward me & may have said aloud, why I never knew anybody else outside my own small class; like, Bruce Wayne Porter who was a few years younger. I had no idea then who he was or the trouble he also endured throughout his school years. Bruce wrote the book I recently discovered: Life Isn’t Fair – A Survivor’s Story of War and Prejudice!
Base Oasis -affordable house w/regard to water sustainability
I would like to build an affordable house, however small but not less than 1,000 square feet.
Somewhere in WA state, preferably in Spokane, WA (both the city of Spokane & Spokane County), or in nearby Lincoln County -where I would also like to start a (water) company, to help regenerate the Odessa Aquifer in Odessa, WA.
Preferably, on an inexpensive piece of property; like, an empty, small city lot, at the right price, of course!
With off-the-shelf materials, because a custom-made prefab house nowadays is unfortunately more than I can afford. And I don't want to go too small, because I'm tall like Bigfoot & might bang my head too many times on the rafters!
So, I've put together a virtual dream-book of ideas about my house, first, to help me formulate a plan of action & to understand what I currently like & really want to build, as part of my overall plan to start a company called Base Oasis, w/regard to water sustainability; with the initial transfer of (potable) water from the Columbia River to Lincoln County & seawater desalination from the Pacific Ocean, for the good of all concerned & to help save the planet!
FYI -all the products shown in my slide show are only my personal preferences & not from any paid sponsors.
Thanks & Enjoy! Just click the pdf link below, for a slide-show of some thoughtful (65) slides. Read one or more or all of them, to get some ideas w/regard to water conservation & future sustainability. And maybe plant a tree, or two or three...or hug a tree & wish good thoughts for you & me...or water a thirsty tree. Please & Thank-U!
