Not anyone’s candidate for a hero: an opportunist and profiteer, member of the Nazi party, a gambler, faithless husband, who made a fortune off slave labor. Yet something impelled him to turn his business into a pretext for saving lives: as many as 1200.

We've never met, but my late cousin Fr. Steve DeMott gave me his copy of your "All Saints" book before he died and it's been an important part of my daily spiritual life ever since. Thank you.

Thank you! I write about your blessed cousin in my new book, “A Living Gospel,” our next month. He was a great friend and source of inspiration.

I look forward to reading it. I was so blessed to know him and miss him every day! Please let me know if you're ever in the Kansas City area, I'd enjoy meeting you.
