The seventh and final book in the #1 New York Times bestselling
Field Party series—a Southern soap opera filled with football,
cute boys, and pick-up trucks—from USA TODAY bestselling author
Abbi Glines. Five years after the Lawton High football team last
took the field, everyone is gathering for a special event back home
in Alabama. But coming back together brings up memories from the
past. Special ones. Painful ones. Unforgettable ones. And for some,
the reunion introduces an opportunity to confront unresolved
issues. Can Asa and Ezmita continue to run away from what their
hearts truly want? What about Nash and Tallulah—will their
natural attraction to each other last when trust concerns rise to
the surface? For West and Maggie, five years later means taking the
next step—if they have the courage to face it. And a joyous
celebration waits for Brady and Riley and their beautiful family.
But family may be the point of contention when it comes to Gunner
and Willa and their upcoming plans. Finally, there are Ryker and
Aurora, who must continue to fight their way through insecurity and
temptation. All these couples find themselves face-to-face with not
only the past but a possible future worth celebrating. So as we
catch up with the members of the Lawton High football team, the
future still remains unknown. Will everyone get their happy
endings? Or will they leave it all on the field as they step
forward toward the days ahead?

Until gorgeous Grant Carter walks out of Nan's room in nothing but
his boxer briefs.

half-sister--even if there are no strings between Grant and Nan.

ruin his chances with her before he even met her?

town filled with cute boys in pickup trucks, Friday night football

popular, way-too-handsome-for-his-own-good football god who led

own--or for them to form a connection so strong that he couldn't
ever let her go...
Famous for leading the Doolittle (or Tokyo) Raid, America's first
strike against Japan in World War II, Jimmy Doolittle led a
remarkable life as an American pilot. This firsthand account by his
granddaughter Jonna Doolittle Hoppes reveals an extraordinary
individual: • An aviation pioneer who was the first to fly across
the United States in less than 24 hours and the first to fly
“blind” (using only his plane’s instruments). • A
barnstormer well known for aerobatics and a popular racing pilot
who won every major air race at least once. • Recipient of both
the Congressional Medal of Honor and Presidential Medal of Freedom.
• A four-star general and commander of both the 8th, 12th, and
15th Air Forces. • A scientist with a doctorate in aeronautical
engineering from MIT. Calculated Risk provides insights into
the public and private world of Jimmy Doolittle and his family, and
sheds light on the drives and motivation of one of America's most
influential and ambitious aviators. This updated edition contains a
new foreword written by Richard P. Hallion, a new afterword written
by Clarence E. “Bud” Anderson, and a new introduction by author
Jonna Doolittle Hoppes.
The DC-3 is the plane that made civilian transport that made
civilian transport a profitable reality, and has become a legend in
its own time. It has many names and designations - Skytrain,
Spooky, Puff the Magic Dragon, DC-3, C-47, R4D, Li-2 and others.
But the name that most pilots know it by is the "Gooney Bird." And
it has played many roles besides being an aerial workhorse to
transport people and cargo. It has been a bomber, fighter, airborne
communications center, amphibian, living quarters, hospital, flying
washing machine, and command post. When some of the more than
10,000 built, and additional hundreds in Japan and Russia, ended
their days, they have been made into a hamburger stand, tea house,
mobile home, seaside cottage, an officers club and even a chicken
coop. Many have been put on static display at more than 200 museums
around the world. After more than sixty years, 1,000 of them are
still flying the world\s skies. The DC-3/C-47 has surpassed all
other aircraft ever built in faithful service, dependability and
achievement. This is the story of its conception, design and
amazing life in war and peace. Carroll glines is also the author of
The Doolittle Raid, Attack on Yamamoto, and Chennault\s Forgotten
Warriors: The Saga of the 308th Bomb Group in China (all available
from Schiffer Publishing Ltd.).
The 308ths wide-ranging activities through nearly three years of
bitter air warfare are described here by reknowned author C.V.
Glines.
Pilot, scholar, daredevil, general . . . James "Jimmy" Doolittle
was one of America\s greatest heroes. In a life filled with
adventure and achievement, Doolittle did it all. As a stunt pilot,
he thrilled the world with his aerial acrobatics. As a scientist,
he pioneered the development of modern aviation technology. During
World War II, he served his country as a fearless and innovative
air warrior, organizing and leading the devastating raid against
Japan. Now, for the first time, here is his life story - modest,
revealing, and candid as only Doolittle himself can tell it.
Doolittle tells a story of the sucesses and adventures, the
triumphs and tragedies of a true American hero - a far-seeing
leader whose courage, devotion, and daring changed the course of
modern history . . . and continues to make its influence felt to
this day.
It was the biggest gamble of World War II, but Lt. Co. "Jimmy"
Doolittle\s legendary bombing raid on Tokyo gave America the morale
boost it needed in the wake of Pearl Harbor. This is the full story
as told by the Doolittle Raiders\ official historian. Carroll
Glines is also the author of Attack on Yamamoto.
Our relationship had been short. Intense and brief. I wondered what
it would have felt like to curl up in Rush's arms anytime I wanted.
To know I was safe and that he loved me. We'd never had that
chance.
Just when Blaire allowed herself to fall for her stepbrother, Rush,
he revealed a life-altering secret so devastating that she couldn't
forgive him. Unable to face him again, Blaire leaves the promise of
true love behind in Rosemary Beach and returns to the comforts of
her small town in Alabama, wanting nothing more than to put the
summer behind her.
But unexpected news complicates Blaire's plans, and she's forced to
trust the one man she shouldn't. Trapped between Rush's fierce
desire to win her back and her own sense of self-preservation,
Blaire doesn't know if she's doing the right thing . . . or if
she's making the biggest mistake of her life.
Perhaps your museum's archives have run out of space, or its
public programs have outgrown their facility. Perhaps a generous
donor or an energetic campaign has provided the funding for a
renovation, a new wing, or a new building. Whatever the
circumstances, small and midsized museums can find themselves
taking on a construction project. But those responsible for seeing
that it's done right--board members, museum professionals, and
skilled museum volunteers--are seldom experienced in the
high-stakes world of construction management.
This handbook outlines the processes and explains the
complexities of renovating and building facilities. It highlights
what issues to consider and what questions to ask; it outlines
steps from needs assessment and project planning to design
development, budgeting, construction, and, finally, settling into
the new space; it provides the vocabulary and framework for the
specific challenges of museum construction.
Written by staff members at the Minnesota Historical Society who
have consulted on scores of building projects, this volume helps
museum professionals and volunteers understand the construction
process to achieve their goals in a time of tight budgets.
Robert Herskovitz, outreach and field conservator, Timothy
Glines, former manager of outreach services, and David Grabitske,
manager of outreach services, have a total of sixty years'
experience in their work for the Minnesota Historical Society
advising museums across the state.
A history of the world-famous Piper light planes from their origin
as a brainchild of Clarence G. Taylor through the series of
fabric-covered, high-wing, single-engine descendants that preserved
the aircraft's general profile. The ultimate success of the company
through many crises was due to the philosophy of William T. Piper,
Sr. who believed that light planes for student instruction and
airport flying services could be produced profitably at low cost.
He became known as "the Henry Ford of aviation" as the company
produced more light aircraft than any other manufacturer in the
world. The text includes many uses of the various models,
interesting modifications and experimental spin-offs. It concludes
with accounts of several adventurers who flew their vintage Cubs
without radios, blind flying instruments or navigational aids.
