Reviews

“This book will contribute to the history of atomic power being developed and ultimately used for peaceful purposes.”

- Jimmy Carter, President of the United States 1977–1981

“This is the intimate true-life story of Miller Moseley, a unique personality – an obscure Texas farm boy, orphaned in childhood, Masonic Home football standout, WWII scientist and revered TCU Emeritus Professor of Physics – told by a close observer. With a remarkable sensitivity to colorful detail and an exceptional gift of verbal expression, first time author, Stella Brooks shares with us this fascinating story.”

- Jim Wright, Former Speaker of the House and author

“Miller Moseley was a graduate student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the 1940s and came with Professor Nathan Rosen on the liquid thermal diffusion project being carried out at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C., under the direction of Philip Abelson. It is likely that Miller is the last surviving member of that team. Stella Brooks has written a compelling biography of Miller. Miller’s generation were an elite group of American heroes. Everyone during that time performed way above standard and it is fascinating to have firsthand account of their experience. I enthusiastically recommend this book.”

- John Abelson, Professor of Biology (Emeritus), California Institute of Technology and author

“A truly inspirational story. It showcases the spirit of humanity and what young people can achieve when given direction and a fighting chance. It is also a great testament to the Masons and their Home for their commitment and guidance.”

- Gary Patterson, TCU Head Football Coach & Dick Bumpas, TCU Defensive Coordinator and Defensive Line Coach

“I was Miller’s student at TCU and a faculty colleague for over twenty years, but I never really knew his story. Stella’s recount of the formative events in Miller’s life have helped me appreciate and respect his special qualities even more.”

- Dr. C. A. Quarles, TCU Professor Emeritus

“I have never read a more true book about my home, The Masonic Home. This book brought back so many memories, especially watching the 1938 football team with Miller Moseley playing left end for the greatest smallest team in the history of the Home. Stella, in her book displays the true spirit of what Masonic Home was all about. The Home not only produced great athletes, but produced a great person with an intellectual mind, which happened to be Miller Moseley. When my older brother and I went to live at the Home in 1931, Miller was already living there along with his younger brother and sister. I feel so honored to have been raised in the same Home along with Miller Moseley.”

- Tom Brady, Masonic Home Masons and Class of '43

“Stella, as I read your story, it made me re-live my experience at the Home almost exactly as you wrote it. It was almost like I was living it again.”

- Richard Opperman, Masonic Home salutatorian and co-captain for the Masonic Home Masons football team, Class of '48

“This is a great book. It will no doubt be a big success. Thanks to you, Stella for all your time and hard work on the book. Miller is lucky to have you as the author of his book.”

- Horace McHam, Masonic Home Masons Left Guard and Class of '39
