Tom Clancy – April 12, 1947 – October 01, 2013
Tom Clancy was a native of Baltimore, like me. From what I read about him at Wikipedia I may not always agree with him, but I certainly enjoy his writing.
Clancy kept my attention for many hours of reading and watching movies. Here are some quotes from his books.
