At the end of Impromptus today, I mention a great name: Staff Sgt. Max Fightmaster. Have a reader letter:

“What a great surprise to see my cousin named in your column today. We are all very proud of him. Max (Max D. Fightmaster IV, actually) did a tour in Iraq, and recently came home from U.N. duty in the Sinai Peninsula. A good family man, the father of three lovely daughters — we are glad to have him back home safe.”
