Hi Julie!
Pop used to visit Abbott’s often. We took occasional family boat trips over for dinner. He has many cherished memories there and it is so much fun to imagine your memories connecting to his! Thanks, Marlisa, Alicia, and Maxine

Mystic, Connecticut. Mmmmm. A couple of years ago a friend and I enjoyed a really, really fun road trip from Illinois to the East Coast. On our way down from Rhode Island down to Connecticut, we happed onto Abbott’s Lobster place. I like to think the charm and good local fare of that place has a bit of your spirit in it. It was the opening of Maddow’s story, mentioning Mystic, that caught my attention. But what brought me to your website was so much more. That I am a teacher only makes my appreciation and admiration for your spirit as a continual learner that much greater. Good health to you, Captain Henry, and enjoy the ride with your new book!

Truly inspiring!

Thank you everyone for your kind words. We look forward to showing James! He gets fan mail in the post on paper, but the process viewed electronically offers him a different experience. It’s great fun to watch him read on line. We’ll try to get him on line soon and he may even blog himself! Marlisa, Alicia, And Maxine

As a freelance writer and editor, I know firsthand how difficult writing can be. When people say, “Your writing just flows so easily,” I want to pinch them!

Through Literacy Volunteers of America, I helped some good folks learn how to read and write. It was years ago; I haven’t been in that arena in quite a while, but James has now inspired me to resume that very worthwhile volunteer work.

Many people who read In a Fisherman’s Language will probably now become Literacy Volunteers. So, you see, James, how much your story is helping others! There will probably be gazillions of people who will learn how to read because of your giant accomplishment. And isn’t helping others what life is all about?

Congratulations to you, James, on your incredibly significant achievement. The bright flame of your candle is now fueling other folks’ burning desire to read and write. I join thousands of your fans in saluting you!

Mary Huber

I studied English in college and now practice law in the public sector and was so amazed at the strength and courage of this man that I had to read his story. I intened to share it with my son and recommend it to his teachers.

The day I read the article in People magazine about your hard work to learn how to read and write, I shed many tears out of sheer admiration for you. Your beloved wife would be so proud of your accomplishment and even though I do not know you personally, I can honestly say you have inspired me to follow my dreams and write the book I have been creating in my mind for years. Thank you for leaving such an impressionable mark on the world and for lighting my fire. Of course, I purchased one of your books as well. God bless you Mr. Henry!
