This manuscript, Lorellin, was discovered among the thousands of pages of written material left by my brother, Robert H. Gore III, PhD. There was no reference as to where it belonged or what the original purpose was intended to be. It languished while his other writings, Right Smart To Say, A Feastynge of Spyders, Songs From Solitude, The Gulf of Mexico, and The Wicked Old Witch of the Woods, went to press and were offered to the public. This document languished in the archives of my files, perhaps awaiting its time of fruition. If so, it now appears that the time has come. —Paul A. Gore

This book is not unique but the people in it are. Ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Their tales are heartwarming and heart breaking. These are death defying personal testimonies laced with humor. One such veteran, an Army Ranger, finds himself one of a hundred men on a training base with 10,000 WACs (Women's Army Corps). "You couldn’t buy a drink," He says. "Every night was 'Ladies Night'." A short time later he finds himself assigned to honor guard burial detail for the returning dead from Vietnam. All the while knowing he already had his orders to ship out to 'Nam. Sixty years in the making, many of these Vets are now sharing their personal stories for the first time to anyone. You are invited to share in their intimacies and their humanity and better understand this war and what these veterans endured for us and for their country.
From the backwaters of the Ten Thousand Islands of
Florida to the Highlands of Scotland, Captain Rob Modys
has lived a somewhat nomadic life, traveling and fishing in
spots most people only dream about visiting.
Bridge to Paradise: Stories of Fishing, Travel, and Life is
a compilation of his adventures on the water and on the
road, along with the struggles and sometimes tragedies
of everyday life.
Modys has been writing short stories, logging fishing
trips, and keeping a journal for the past 25 years and
has finally put a good many of those stories in one place,
Bridge to Paradise.
