Have long loved your SF. Now love Chaos Manor. Amazed to find you went to Iowa. There is so much I missed while there.

Nice to meet you Mr. Pournelle.
regards,
A happy, healthy and prosperous 2017 to you and your loved ones. Thanks for your many years of great writing and advocacy that has inspired so many, including me. In the late 1970’s your work greatly influenced my thinking about technology, space, defense and economics. That helped me get form some clear career goals and I just retired from a 38 year long career in the tech sector. Your ideas helped me have a better life.
Please get well Mr Pournelle, You have made my life better for your work.
Merry Christmas

Jerry, prayers for your and Roberta’s continued recovery.
Well wishes and prayers for Mrs. Pournelle and you. I’m an old (in more than one way)fan and wanted you to know how much your thoughtful work is appreciated.
God Speed Jerry! Very sorry to hear about Roberta, but I am glad you have a magnificent family in this trying times to accompany you, and also your extended family (of which I am part), fan since Byte magazines and enjoyed many of your novels with L.N.
Also take care of yourself during the weeks that follow the stress may be high, rest when possible
Cheers!
