This is my rewritten,augmented and edited story --Torn lives--. I have to thank two people. My editor Johnny Galt who with his constant prodding, questions and suggestions made that the story changed for the better and I'm also in debt to fellow author CPBaudelaire who the 03/14/12 wrote a number of suggestions to improve the story in his comment to Torn Lives. To both of them many thanks. Fermpera

He and his fellow Chief, HMC Al Tory are enjoying themselves and making a hit among the women they come in contact with. Eddie is also being kept up to date with what is happening with his wife and children in the letters being sent to him.
