Ray's Birthday Gift & Message to Skip
Warriors with Wings by Philip McKee, published in 1947
Happy Birthday Skip
Knighthood is dead - they say - but if you read the exploits of these men - and they were after all only men - you can not help but conclude that tho steeds and armor are out moded, men will still do courageous deeds for the Lady Faire and for an ideal. The basic goodness of men is still with us and will remain.
Sincerely Ray"
Joe doesn't remember when Ray gave him this book
Ray, Betty/Maude & Skip/Joe
about 1954
**************
This book is signed by the author. Underneath his signature is something written in what might be red nail polish. "I almost was with him for .." Our guess is that Ray bought this as a used book and a previous owner wrote the message in red.
