I was born in Hillsdale, Michigan in 1946, not that long after his best-known work, but I think I knew nothing of him until, let's see, mid-'58 to mid-'60 when I did junior high school back there. My parents thot of him as a local boy, as my father had been, and the only bookstore in town carried G. C. when a new edition came out somewhere in that window, and I was given a copy, in which I recall reading of enemy soldiers putting on camouflage-makeup and lying in a heap of corpses until an opportune target ("brass", I presume, or a juicy war machine) presented itself. Dunno if he's called forth a bio more detailed than ours, nor whether he holds any enduring interest, but if so, ours might profit from its inclusion; perhaps Hillsdale College was his primary link to the town. --Jerzy•t22:41, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
