Mary Nida Smith, is sorry she hasn't been updating her post. Her husband who served in submarine for 16 years and anti-submarine helicopters for 5 and served in WWII, Viet Nam and the Korea War has been in and out of  the hospital. He will be 90 January 2, 2016. He has two stories in her book and his interesting career is the inspiration for writing and publishing her two books - Submarine  Stories of World War II and Heroes beneath The Waves: True Submarine Stories of the Twentieth Century. Release day for the last book is November 17th and can be ordered at several locations on the internet. Thank you for your patience.
