David,

I think that’s the most accurate Power Point presentation I’ve seen from someone outside our facility.  Thank you!!  It’s very refreshing to see that.

[Feedback on presentation entitled, “20th Century Military Records Call for 20th Century Patience,” advice for preparing effective requests for military service records from National Archives at St. Louis.]

Recently, David Goerss submitted two excellent articles to the California Nugget, the twice-a-year journal of the California Genealogical Society.  His submissions, on military topics, were informative, historical, and extraordinary in their scope, containing abundant and relevant sources.

His in-depth research produced lively and compelling narratives of great interest to a wide variety of readers.

David’s natural writing style is organized, engaging and lively. That, combined with his professional-level knowledge of grammar and syntax, makes him a writer whose work will always be welcomed. He has a gift for making complex topics easy to understand, and the addition of carefully selected photos and images, with detailed captions, enhances both the narrative and his research.

Working with David is a real pleasure. He is reliable, easy to communicate with and prompt in his replies to inquiries or questions. He meets deadlines and listens to feedback.  Additionally, he was unfailingly patient with the necessarily tedious aspects of editing as we approached publication.

David always cheerfully supplies any last-minute needed material.

I’m already looking forward to his next article and hope that he will continue to offer the California Genealogical Society the opportunity to publish his fine research.
