This IS an experience that will change your life and one that you will never forget for as long as you live." - Paula Hyman "It shows the pains, and sometimes tortures, that (members) will endure to be a small part of something great." - Kristie Staton TharpeWelch, David C. is the author of 'Middle Horn Leader 2006 ', published 2006 under ISBN 9781419647710 and ISBN 1419647717.
