Can anyone point me to a source listing the names of the ships on which he sailed and when?<br /><br />theron.snell@uwp.eduTheronnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36271824.post-51656983697407555862010-04-16T01:11:54.318-07:002010-04-16T01:11:54.318-07:00Me da muchisimo gusto poder leer grandes comentari...Me da muchisimo gusto poder leer grandes comentarios sobre Richard Jessup (mi abuelo), tuve la oportunidad de estar con el antes de Oct, 1982. <br />He leido mucho de sus libros y como bien dicen, es fuerte y pesado en varios de sus libros. Pero como todo, vas perfeccionando hasta llegar al final. <br />Como bien dicen "The Cincinnati Kid" rompio todos los esquemas y por lo que se, fue nominado al Oscar de aquel año. El actor Steve McQueen, es todo un estrella y su prime fue en esas epocas 1960's.<br />Y por último, su última novela "Threat" o "Amenaza" es el mejor Thriller/Drama... y aun no entiendo como no ha sido de interes por los cinematógrafos. "Someone said to me, leave the best for the last...".

I picked up a copy of "Threat" - his last book? - when it was new & wore it to a nub. Finally located another copy - 25 years later it's still one of the best thrillers I've ever read. You're more than 90% through the book before you finally figure what on EARTH this character is up to! I wonder if you could stretch a movie plot for that long, but it sure would make a great one. Thanks for blogging Mr. Jessup.<br /><br />Richard<br />Port Angeles, WAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36271824.post-35495918149670895542009-07-02T04:45:42.004-07:002009-07-02T04:45:42.004-07:00Hi - I don't know if you check this for commen...Hi - I don't know if you check this for comments but thought I would send one anyway.<br /><br />I was going through my parents things as they have passed away and have found the novels by Dick Jessup as we knew him. My parents were great friends of his and my mother his typist. My parents are small characters in the novel Foxway. We have most of his books - some printed in chinese - and signed. We have the typed copies from the typewriter days.<br /><br />He was a great man and lived in Wilton Connecticut and then moved to Florida with his family.<br />Tory Hartmayer-PrizioAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36271824.post-23545953459489355772009-02-19T13:47:00.000-08:002009-02-19T13:47:00.000-08:00Just found your post trying to find out something ...Just found your post trying to find out something about Richard Jessup, as i have been recomending him to younger readers. "Kid" stands the test of time, but my favorite one is "Sailor", one of the best novels I have read about a seagoing career, which Jessup had and one I had earlier in my life. My understanding is he was in the Merchant Marine in the second world war, but set his book much earlier.<BR/><BR/>Bill HewesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
