Same here. Required reading for the Red River College program. Very informative. I wouldn't have know about Lucien Bernhard if it wasn't for that book.
Thanks for posting that, Denny. Hadn't been there in a while.

Phil Meggs was one of my professors at VCU. He was a super nice guy, just passed away a few years ago.

My professor was a student of Phil Meggs too at VCU. He always spoke very highly of him. My copy of HOGD is sitting next to me right now. Good read Denny thanks for posting it.
