Some great inspirational stuff in LETTERS FROM DAD; lessons and Love. This 305 page hardback by John Broome with Jack Broome was published in 1996. From the DJ we read, "Leaving home for boarding school was a turning point for Jack Broome, a well as for his father, John. Both viewed this as a welcome reward for years of study and hard work. Both understood that this was Jack's opportunity to step out of his father's shadow-and into his own light.  But it was by no means easy. For Jack, leaving the nest meant leaving his best boyhood friend: his dad. And John feared he would no longer be able to guide his son through life; they might even lose touch. So he decided to stay in touch...LETTERS FROM DAD is a moving collection of the letters John Broome wrote to his son in an effort to remain a positive force in his development and help him enter the realm of maturity with principles, grace, and direction. Filled with fatherly concern, these letters offer sage advice on how to be not only an acceptable member of society but an exceptional one.  Discussing issues that are of concern to parents and young people today, everything from drugs to dating...from competition to companionship..from self-confidence to respect for others, LETTERS FROM DAD explores the foundations of good character and strong family ties. And it shows how hard work, individual responsibility, moral fiber, and other traditional American values form the keystone of leadership and life well lived.  Even after tragedy struck-when a near-fatal car accident left him incapacitated for several months-John Broome wrote to jack religiously. It was an experience that would make Jack painfully aware of the love he and his father share. Jack Broome saved every letter his father wrote him. Now he shares them with you. A glowing testament to family strength, a sage series of lesson in life, LETTERS FROM DAD is the perfect gift for loving fathers and sons, devoted parents, young adults, and families everywhere."
