Above and Beyond the Call of Duty

Jim Power is one of the many fine individuals I've had the pleasure to come in contact with during the course of my research. A retired businessman, amateur historian, and author of two books, including "A Respectable Minority In the South During the Civil War" (Authorhouse, 2005), Jim had collected much material on Maj. Thomas B. Webber, one of my subjects. We exchanged numerous e-mails, and yesterday I received a package containing an autographed copy of his book, a transciption of Webber's 1861 diary, and other materials. I am overwhelmed by Jim's kindness, and appeciate him for going above and beyond the call of duty. Thanks, Jim.
