Below are comments from individuals (mostly dear friends and relatives) who have ordered (some read), Character Happens!  I want to thank them for their purchase and for these kind words.  Garry M. Graves I read the first chapter of your book last night -- Johnny Gando's test of honesty. Make that his two tests of honesty. Toward the end of the story I found myself re-examining a similar incident in my own young life, and questioning whether I had made the best decisions under the circumstances -- wondering if I would make different decisions if faced with that situation today. Golf references aside -- and some of us don't know golf from parcheesi -- there's a message in that story for all of us. Hopefully it causes every reader to examine their own ethics and honesty in a way that results in personal improvement. Good job, Garry. Diantha T M, Ohio   "Congratulations! Hope it's a huge success."  Ron P., Michigan   "Garry, just ordered your book!  Can't wait to read it, the premise sounds great and I, too, believe this is something that really needs to be addressed in our culture today.  It sounds like you have done it in a unique and entertaining way.  I wish you great success!"  Christy S., Florida   "Tom and I are looking forward to reading your book. We certainly agree with your concept of vanishing virtues and your clever way of calling attention to this problem is so refreshing. Wishing you a #1 bestseller...I can hardly wait telling everyone we are friends with a famous author. I am so happy for you."  Paula & Tom A., Kansas   "Where is character, where's it hiding? Hopefully Mr. Graves the book you've written will expose decent character, bringing it to the forefront. In current day, people of character seem to be few and far between. Is character hiding behind ego's, is it behind self-indulgence, behind wealth and me, me, me..." David H. Michigan    "Perhaps your most prominent virtue is COURAGE.  You have always had the courage to step out, trust your instincts, and try something new, even if "whacky".  May this book be the most successful of all your courageous adventures."  George F., South Carolina.   "I look forward to reading your book. Think you have a very important topic in the crazy world we are living in. Especially where town hall meetings on health-care  look more like riots, comment pages on websites provide people the anonymity to say anything without concern for recourse, and whether you are Congressman, an entertainer or an athlete; peoples delusions of self importance supersede appropriate behavior."  Andrew F., Texas
