I met John Rollins on several occasions in Wilmington back in the mid 1970's. He was a big, jovial man and a pleasure to be around. At the time I worked as a sales guy for a corporate jet management company in PHL. After several attempts to do business with him, one afternoon he called and invited me to join him on a test flight of a Jetstar he was thinking of buying. He treated me with professional and personal respect and made me feel very special that day. I thought I knew his background, but there was so much this booked filled in. For example I never knew he was so influential of the black community through his radio stations. I knew he loved Rose Hall and flew to Jamacia frequently. But this book was the thread between so many bits I of information. I was so glad I read it.

OK this book arrived in good time. I was surprised when I leafed through it to see that some pages had underlining and did not expect that. The book other than this is as expected.

Perhaps I was expecting too much, but this book is a one-sided positive view of John Rollins, an important figure in Delaware history. I like the Rollins family but the gushing just got too much
