Could it have been a conspiracy to get rid of Leonard? After all, he was a man of insufferable superiority, his victory being achieved primarily through fear of reprisals in the event he failed to win.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span face=""Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0f1111; font-size: 14px;">Meanwhile, recently retired DCI Alistair Fitzjohn, returns to Sydney after working on a case as a police consultant.

It is not long, however, before Fitzjohn finds Leonard Delaney’s murder is not as straightforward as first thought.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span face=""Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0f1111; font-size: 14px;">As the case develops Fitzjohn’s detective skills are tested as is his ability to deal with a ghost from the past who is out for revenge.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;"><span face="Amazon Ember, Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #0f1111;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">This is another of Jill Paterson's Fitzjohn's series and just as suspenseful and entertaining as all the others.

<span style="font-size: large;">The Fourth String is the final book in Jill Paterson’s
“Fitzjohn’s” series and I do believe it is her best. It is an articulate and
fast paced murder mystery that pulls the reader in with the first few pages and
keeps building interest as more possible suspects are introduced, all with
intriguing and conceivable motives. The victim, Crispin Fairchild, the
conductor of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, is found lying in a pool of blood
in his apartment at the Claremont Hotel by a neighbor who quickly becomes a prime
suspect with a surprising motive of her own. Chief Inspector Fitzjohn hones in
on his usual eccentric and ever widening investigation with the help of his trusted
partner, Sergeant Betts. They leave no stone unturned as they wind down their wide
variety of fascinating clues to the unexpected solution of who the real
murderer is. Over the course of the series, the author kept a couple of
unsavory characters who kept finding irritating ways to disturb Inspector
Fitzjohn and she ends this work with perfect solutions and pay back for their constant
vexations. The memorable family members and respected associates of Fitzjohn in
the series all end up with suitable prospects for the future that leaves the
reader fulfilled. Great job Jill! I am eager to read your next work. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Since we had such a mild South Texas winter I was able to plant my annuals early and had the whole deck garden done by the middle of March. I left for Austin the middle of April to spend the week helping my daughter finish up her taxes. The night I left our neighborhood had golf ball to baseball size hail and I returned to this dismal scene below.</span></b></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b style="background-color: white;">14 of my flower pots were totally shattered and some of the others damaged as were a lot of the plants. Only the row along side of the house where the red petunias look happy survived the deluge. I was amazed at the damage hail that size could cause in a very short period of time. Two of our family cars were totaled and the other damaged but worth repairing. We were lucky we only had a couple windows broken, our neighbor had ten. Our two skylights shattered and the roof will have to be replaced. Below are some close ups of how much force that ice came down with that shredded six of our window screens.</b></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>I was sad for awhile but these are all material things and can be replaced. My grandson was very sad about his beloved high performance turbo charged muscle car he kept polished like a mirror was totaled, but fate was kind to him. He works at a car dealership, between his college courses, and as luck would have it, right after he started a state wide search for a replacement, a nice dentist traded in one where he works exactly like my grandson was looking for that has been kept clean as a whistle also, with no dings, and grandson seems even prouder of the new silver one than the demolished black one he cherished. It has even more bells and whistles he likes. Seeing him that happy took all my sadness away in a hurry.</b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">One of my grandsons in college recently asked me to help him with an assignment. He needed to get someone who knew him to write him a letter saying how you knew him, where your family values came from, and how others reacted to them. He received a 100 on the assignment so I thought, hum, I think I'll post a few old family photos and whatever the professor's reason for that good "grade" on my blog was since I didn't have anything else ready.</span></b></div>

Will,<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">I am your maternal
Grandmother and I have loved you since the day you were born. I remember the
day after when we brought you home, your Dad sat you in your car seat on the
dining room table in the middle of vases of flowers from friends. They left you
with me to go to the drug store and I noticed you were gazing at the flowers. I
knew right then you were going to be very alert, intelligent, and laid-back,
and I was right. I also noticed you had darker skin than your older brother and
knew my Dad would have been very proud of that. He was one fourth Apache and
also had darker hair and skin like you and was a legend in his own time. He
worked 42 years for a Sulfur company and only missed one sick day in all those
years. They had to send him home that day with the flu. He wasn’t happy about
that, he intended to retire with a perfect record. </span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Dad also raised cattle and
baled hay in his “spare” time and made more money doing that than he did at the
company. Without much education he eventually rose to become the Plant Supervisor,
he was a very smart and honorable man I am very proud of. My Mom was also a
wonderful parent, she raised huge gardens and kept laying hens, milk cows, and
frying chickens, and with Dad’s beef and her vegetables we probably ate the best food in town. She
was also a great seamstress and I wore mostly homemade clothes I was very proud
of. <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">I was blessed to be born to
wonderful parents who were never bigots or racists at a time in this country a
lot of folks were…well before integration. My Great Grandparents were all
Polish immigrants, except for the one Great Grandmother who was Native
American. One Grandmother came over with her parents when she was eight years
old and her family were Indentured Servants who had to work hard in the fields
for seven years to pay off their passage. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">All of my Grandparents became cotton
farmers, one family was able to buy their own farm, the other two could never
afford to and share-cropped for over sixty years giving the land owner half of
everything they earned. Fortunately, their four sons were all able to find good
jobs in industry during and after the Great Depression when cotton became
almost worthless, and were the first generation of our family of immigrants who
were able to lift themselves out of poverty into the prosperous Middle
Class…with the help of President Franklin D. Roosevelt before, during, and
after WWII. Some of my uncles went to work on his road gangs helping build needed
infrastructure. Six of my uncles also served in "The Great War" in the Army and
the Navy.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">The virtues I pride most my
family taught me were a good work ethic and compassion and empathy for all
regardless of race, religion, and status. In the late 1960’s I was helping my
three sons practice on a Little League field to get ready for tryouts when a
young Mexican and Black boy rode up on bikes and asked if they could join us. I
said sure and we were having fun when the groundskeeper came over and told me
“those” two kids were not allowed on the “all-white” field, to tell them to
leave. I asked who his boss was, loaded my five and “those two” children in my
station wagon, and drove to the bank where the “boss” worked in a rather riled mood. </span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">By the time
Little League try-outs rolled around I had made certain boys of all color were
allowed to try out. I knew the Little League had issued an order that all
sanctioned Little League fields were to be integrated two years prior but no
one in that small town had bothered to follow that rule. After I notified the
boss I was notifying Little League Headquarters, it was no longer an option
after Little League informed the “boss.” There were a lot of folks in that town
who later thanked me for resolving that painful issue that should never have
been one.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

Although golden doodles are typically about 2 feet tall, each photo in the series portrays Juji, and occasionally Cline himself, in variously impossible sizes."</div>

"Making the photographic effect look just right isn't easy work, but they both enjoy the process. "I think what Juji and I love most about making these is the fact that it has brought us incredibly close together," said Cline.

<b><span style="font-size: large;">"I really enjoyed this book. It was a marvelously done, debut, thriller novel. Ms. Robinson and Ms. Haight are great authors that really pull you into their story. I couldn’t get out until that final sentence. And, by then I wanted more. To say I want a second book is an understatement. The writing style is compelling, and makes me feel as if I was there with Fairday and her friends. I really like the illustrations in the book. They are like the ribbon on a present, or the icing on the cake. I give this book five out of five bookworms!" ~ Erik Weibel/ This Kid Reviews Books </span></b></div>

America as an Immigrant when he was eight years old. His parents left Poland in
the latter 1800’s because of the strife there caused by Communist trying to
take control of the country who were persecuting those that belonged to the Christian religion his parents did. He told me when he first saw the Statue Of Liberty
from the deck of a ship coming into Ellis Island, he was relieved to tears that
he would never again have to worry about a knock on the door in the middle of
the night from someone coming to take his Father away to “the place of no
return” like some of their family, friends, and neighbors had experienced. He was an old man when he told me this story but it still brought tears to his eyes and filled my heart with compassion for all those who didn't escape, only to be preyed on again by Hitler...and then Stalin for many decades.<o:p></o:p></b></span><br />
