Dear Friends originated as a series of letters written to a select group of the author's former Navy coworkers, all of whom lived and worked near Washington DC in the early 1990s. Those friends had never experienced the Lower Alabama region, which means they had only their preconceived notions of the people and the place. The author admits the stories within the book are somewhat slanted toward those preconceptions. Yes, the letters were somewhat of a prank, yet they contain observations that reveal special attributes of a small and special region of the US Gulf Coast. Dear Friends: Letters from LA (Lower Alabama) is a humorous look at the author's first two years as a resident of Lower Alabama. It doesn't pretend to be entirely true, though it mostly is. It doesn't pretend to accurately identify or portray the people encountered in the narrative, though it mostly does. Readers may or may not be able to tell truth from fiction, but that's entirely the point. "
