Welcome to the Guestbook!

I’m always eager to read your comments about my books and stories, so please feel free to pitch in. Here are a few things for you to know:

1) I answer the messages here personally.

2) No message shows up here until I actually answer it to prevent spam and other inappropriate postings. So there will sometimes be a delay before your message posts, especially if I am traveling.

3) Teachers, a gentle request: Please do not have multiple children send me variants of the same message. A group email is much easier to respond to and not such a drain on my time. My thanks in advance for being alert to this.

Hi Bruce,
A retired Pru colleague, Bob Kane, saw your cover article in 55 + Magazine and asked me if I had met you. We live in Salt Springs and here was this famous author of childrens' books right close by. I am a financial advisor here at Prudential in the Dewitt office, but the reason I am writing is that my brother, Douglas Gatta, who practiced law for over 42 years, retired from NJ ,moved to Calif and just published his first children's book "Left and Right" by DJ Gatta JD.
Our family was so thrilled that he had done this project. Its on Amazon and Barnes&Noble. I know he would love to know others with similar interests. His philosophy about this book is that its for the parents/caregivers of children to have a teaching experience and for children to grow up being better critical thinkers! Congratulations on all your marvelous works. I hope someday we can meet. Good to know you came back home !

Hi, Lee -

Thanks for this nice message. I was really pleased with that article - I even liked the photos!

Oddly enough, I believe I was in your offices just this summer, as I think my father's life insurance was through Prudential.

Congratulations to your brother on publishing his first book. I hope he has much success with it.

All best,

BC
