To the Bates Family,
I have had the pleasure of knowing Stony since he joined our group of Lowcountry Leathernecks. We often shared information about selling and promoting our books. He was a wealth of information. He was a historian, and loved sharing his passion. Fair winds and following seas sir. Till we meet again.
