Coastguard LCI Veteran Writes His Memoirs—with the generous help of his daughter!Ex-Coastguardsman, LCIer Herbert E.Nolda of Ravenna, Nebraska is fortunate to have a daughter likeValerie!By dint of her persistence in getting him to write his memoirs of his World War II experiences, particularlythose of D-Day where he was a crewman aboard both LCIs 91 and 92, Herbert is now a publishedauthor. But it was more than just prodding that got this book to the publisher. Valeria came alongsideher Dad to help him write it and to do the necessary editing. So much so that the author line on thecover reads “by Herbert E. Nola with Valerie L.Vierk.The book, entitled Sailing the Troubled Sea, is being published by Authorhouse and, if you wish to take alook at it, you can do so on line at www.authorhouse.com; then clicking on “bookstore” and typing in“Nolda” in the search window.Our congratulations go out to Herbert and to his persistent daughter!
