✉ ELECTRONIC MAIL

xstone1968@aol.com

Yes, it is an AOL address. I have had it since 1998 and everybody I care about already has it. I am aware of what people think about it. I have made my peace with what people think about a lot of things.

✉ POSTAL MAIL

LT. X. STONE (RET.)
P.O. BOX 4471
GRAND ISLAND, NE 68802

It is a box and not a house. That is not paranoia and it is not theater. It is because in 2014 a man drove out to the actual house at eleven at night to ask me a question, and Sherri answered the door, and that is not going to happen to her twice.

☎ TELEPHONE

No.

WHAT I WILL WRITE BACK TO

  • Booking inquiries. First, always, same day if I can.
  • Book orders and anything that went wrong with a book order.
  • Veterans. Any veteran, any era, any branch, any length of service, including the fellows who did two years and got out and have felt strange about it for thirty. Especially those fellows.
  • Family of. This one I will drop everything for.
  • Somebody who is having a bad night and does not have anybody else to type at. I am not a professional and I will tell you that up front and I will still write back.

WHAT I WILL NOT WRITE BACK TO

  • Anything containing a figure, or asking for one.
  • Anything asking me to confirm a unit, an agency, or a count of letters.
  • "Prove it." I cannot and I have said so in about four places on this website.
  • Requests for photographs beyond the three that are up.
  • Anyone who opens with "no disrespect but." There is always disrespect after but.
  • Offers to rebuild this website for money.

PRESS & MEDIA

All media inquiries go through Roberta at Sandhill Press. She is better at this than I am and she will tell you no faster than I will, which saves everybody time.

SANDHILL PRESS — roberta@sandhillpressne.com — (308) 555-0148

I will do a print interview. I will not do a televised one. I have been asked and the answer has been the same each time and it is going to keep being the same, and it is not because of anything dramatic, it is because I do not like the way my face does what it does when somebody asks me the question at the end.

IF YOU ARE CONTACTING ME IN AN OFFICIAL CAPACITY

You already know how to reach me and you have never once needed a website to do it.

The last time was March of 2011, in a Bob Evans off the interstate, and it was cordial, and I have kept every single thing I agreed to in that booth. Not one unit. Not one name. Not one date that means anything. Not one operation. Not a number.

I would like it noted somewhere, by somebody, that I have kept my end of it. I understand that the noting of it is not a thing that happens. I am asking anyway. It is my website.

PERMISSIONS

You may quote from this website. Please quote it whole. If you take the sentence about the four seconds and leave off the sentence after it, you have written a different man, and I have seen that done twice now.

You may not use the photographs. They are Sherri's and one of them is Dennis's and neither of those two people gave anything to the internet.

One last thing, and then I will let you go.

If you came to this website to catch me, I understand it. It is a good instinct and there are a lot of men out there who have earned you having it. Go ahead and look. Everything I have is on these nine pages and there is not a tenth one.

And if you came here because something in it sounded like your father, or your husband, or the fellow at the end of your street who does not come to things — write me. Put "not about me" in the subject line so I know to open it first.
