What a great job! I was instantly moved to follow people that I had an interest in reading about. Andy Purvis' book Greatness Continued, is a fascinating read. It highlights some of sports' most interesting people and shares their life stories and the traits that made them successful into short stories that are both entertaining and informative.   Reid Ryan Houston Astros Baseball Club   Andy, I just read the chapter on my dad, 'Shag,' in your book In the Company of Greatness. I can not thank you enough for keeping his name and memories alive. The entire Crawford family appreciates it, and again, Thank you.    Joe Crawford NBA Gold Whistle Award winner   I recently found your book Remembered Greatness  - and what a joy to find your wonderful story about Lewis.  He would have loved reading it, too.
