I STRONGLY SUGGEST MR. DANIELSON GET HIS FACTS STRAIGHT ABOUT THE SO-CALLED FIRE. IT WAS A POT FROM WHICH THE LIQUID HAD BURNED OUT WHILE THE DOCTOR'S MOTHER WAS CHATTING OUTSIDE WITH A NEIGHBOR. THE LIQUID WHICH BURNED OUT WAS THE SOUP FOR HIS LUNCH. THEREFORE, IT WAS MIDDAY AND NO ONE ELSE WAS IN THE HOUSE BUT HIM AND THE CAT. THEREFORE, THERE WAS NO ONE TO AWAKEN AND "SAVE." HIS MOTHER CAME RUSHING BACK INTO THE HOUSE WHEN SHE REALIZED SHE HAD BEEN OUT TOO LONG, THREW THE POT IN THE SINK (NO FIRE) AND OPENED THE WINDOWS IN THE HOUSE TO LET OUT THE SMOKE. THIS STORY IS IN CHAPTER 1 OF THE BOOK WRITTEN BY HIS GRANDFATHER.

ALSO, HIS GRANDFATHER'S ALLERGIES DID NOT APPEAR UNTIL HE WAS ALREADY A PRACTICING VETERINARIAN; HE DID NO HAVE THEM ALL HIS LIFE AS ASSERTED BY HIS GRANDSON. THAT GENTLEMEN REALLY OUGHT TO READ--OR REREAD--"ALL MY PATIENTS ARE UNDER THE BED," WRITTEN BY HIS GRANDFATHER. I HAVE--SEVERAL TIMES.

IF THESE GLARING MISTAKES APPEAR IN ONE SHORT SECTOR, I WOULD HATE TO THINK OF THE FICTION THAT THE REST OF THIS MAN'S WORK IS. I CERTAINLY WOULD NO CONSIDER PURCHASING IT, NOR GETTING INVOLVED IN ANY OF HIS SO-CALLED CAUSES. HE IS EITHER VERY STUPID OR A MASTER PREVARICATOR!!!
