Hey Robin, I have some fairly recent VeloNews and Bicycling I'd be happy to send. I also have some cycling books (written by cycle tourists if you think he'd like that). What kind of history is he interested in? My son also has a pretty good collection of books on history, military history in particular, and I could select something from his bookshelf as well to include. PM me with the address.

How are YOU doing? As a mom, I can only imagine what you must be going through, and hope your whole family can find peace, and of course that Scott is not injured and returns home soon. How long is expected to be deployed?
