James W. HUSTON

Notes:

James W. Huston grew up in West Lafayette, Indiana and attended the University of South Carolina on a Navy ROTC scholarship. He majored in History with a minor in English. During his senior summer he did an exchange cruise with the French Navy then attended the University of Warwick in England to study English Reformation history and English literature. After college he received his Navy wings as a Naval Flight Officer and was assigned to VF-84, the Jolly Rogers on the USS Nimitz. With others in VF-84, he participated in making the movie, The Final Countdown, including flying in numerous scenes and personally filming and directing others. While in the Jolly Rogers he was selected to attend TOPGUN. After leaving active duty he attended the University of Virginia School of Law. He moved to San Diego to join a firm and began flying in the Navy Reserves. After a few years he transferred his reserve duty to Naval Intelligence. He started writing by trying editorials for the San Diego Union-Tribune, writing on current affairs. After many editorials, he decided to try fiction. Like many aspiring writers, neither his first novel nor his second were accepted for publication. But his third was different. It combined all his experience into a compelling story -- military action, political intrigue, and Constitutional Law. He found a clause in the U.S. Constitution that hadn't been used since 1812. He posed the simple question: "What if it was used today? What would happen?" His other novels have built on the same themes. Politics. Law. Military action. Some have more of one area than the others, but they remain true to his style and ask compelling questions while providing a thrilling read. James W. Huston lives in San Diego with his family.

Dear David, the chart arrived two days ago, but, alas, I have not been able to study it. Unfortunately, I have had to have an infected molar extracted and have been under the weather. I should be better in a few days. I'm also having trouble with my lumbar nerve and may have to return to surgery. Not to worry----I will be fine!

Wow! you must be a computer genius!!!!! I am really impressed. Brains sure run in the Marshall family, don't they!

When it arrived, I took just a quick peek--not to correct or anything---just noticed that my husband should be James AlvinHuston (not Albin).

When I can, I will look the chart over for you. You sure have put in a lot of work. I will send you an e-mail with additions/omissions/correctios as soon as I can.

Fondly,

Cousin Anne
