Dear Ross,
Please accept these books as a late Broome graduation gift.
I hope you will find time to give careful and serious thought to the contents of these books.
I realize now how much you kids (mine and others) lack the moral guidance and hope given through Jesus Christ and the church.
Love,
Mom
