Herman Wouk, Perennially Best-Selling Author, Dies at 103

Author of WINDS OF WAR, WAR AND REMEMBRANCE and more. Rest in Peace, and thank you for your WWII service. Condolences to his family.https://www.nytimes.com/…/…/obituaries/herman-wouk-dead.html A favorite pull-out from his obit: "Mr. Wouk enlisted in the Navy immediately after Pearl Harbor, entered midshipman’s school and was posted as a radio officer to the U.S.S. Zane, a destroyer-minesweeper operating in the South Pacific.
He told an interviewer for The New York Post in 1956 that his time in the Navy had been the greatest experience of his life. “I had known two worlds, the wiseguys of Broadway and the wiseguys of Columbia — two small worlds that sometimes take themselves for the whole world,” he said. “In the Navy I found out more than I ever had about people and about the United States.”
