Thanks for everything, Cliff. I discovered _The Cuckoo’s Egg_ as a child, and was taken in. I wrote a book report on it... and then I wrote a book report on it the next year... and the next year...

At some point, I stopped trying to drag my pre-teen schoolmates along with me, but I still have my original hardback and re-read it regularly.

Your book taught me many things - perhaps most importantly, that one can educate about complex topics in engaging and understandable ways. And now I’ve landed in a job that focused on security.

One of the things that I’ve been doing in this job is, well, trying to educate about complex topics in engaging and understandable ways. I’ve thought about your book in every blog post I’ve written lately.

Thanks, again.
