All Comments on 'Oregon Coast Ch. 05'

As usual a great story. Is this the last installment of the Oregon series or are there still other characters the womanly gang is going to fix up?

I enjoyed the series, but had to go back and re-read chapter 4 to get up to speed as it has been a while. Probably the best part of the series was the matchmaking of the women, who selected the couples to be introduced. Probably a bit too perfect, but it made for good reading and there was some nice dialog that came across as pretty much real life.

I enjoyed this installment. The dialog is wonderful and well developed. I still think you rush through or skip parts of the story...in this one the most noticeable was the intimate scenes. And of course the last page always seems to rush the couples through their engagement and honeymoon stage.

I like how you develop your characters and the story lines. Doing a story involving multi-ethnic friends is not an easy achievement. It feels as if you have captured the different cultures and done right by them. If that makes sense.

Keep writing and I look forward to reading your next story.

Take Care.

While I was in Viet Nam, my PMA (Perm. Mailing Addr.) was P.O. Box xx, Neotsu, Oregon. You made me feel a lot of memories and many of them were good. Thanx

9/11 is still very hard on me, and it caused my PTSD to go critical. Lots of time with the VA up on the hill right next door to OHSU is helping things to get slowly better. I had to stop reading and take a day's break after seeing that date and imagining what might be coming next, but it was alright after I quite hyperventilating.

Really nice stories set in really nice surroundings about really nice love. Good shit Maynard! Glad you wrote 'em and looking forward to reading more. They felt real and even though my stuff happened in the mid '60's it was all the same but the music was a little more of a melody and a little less bass rap. Hang in brother and keep up the good work. Lynn

I loved your series of stories. They interlocked nicely without each giving the next away. They make me wish I had as good a set of friends as these. I think your stories are as much about friendship as about sex. Thank you for writing.

loved them and loved the humour all the way through - the girls were just brilliant the way they set each guy up with a girl they knew was just right for them and they would be right for each other.

Just shows the comradeship that is formed in a military unit and last for ever....a brilliant tale well told.....

The only slight problem I have is with the reconciliations.

It would seem to me, especially in this story, that... well, I won't say Manny gave in too easily. But given how upset, offended he was, she didn't have to work to hard to get him back.

Sure, he was smitten, miserable, and lonely. But I would think he'd have been a bit more reluctant to go along with the program until he was sure she was sincere. I see that process taking at the very least a few dates over a week or two.

Other than that, I love your stories. Well written. The former military angle touched a bit of a chord with me too.

Well, to be honest it wasn't that complex and totally predictable but it just was so nice. Thank you for your effort and it rated a solid five stars throughout.

I will go along with those who felt that he caved too fast after the insult.. The girls also seem to overwhelmed with passion too easily. It is nice to imagine such people.

Really enjoyed this story & the way you separated/organized the chapter sequence. Looking forward to reading your next new story. Nice work.

but will there be a Ch. 06?

Wow! I have jumped over these stories many times. I was running out of stories to read so I read them. I'm impressed with your work on them. Oh well now i have to find more stories of this caliber . such is life! Love you all! Bye. Greg. Oh 10 stars.

Really enjoyed the series of stories of folks along the Oregon coast. Would like to have more of them, but am now moving on to other of this writer's works.

I waited until the finish of the series to make my comment. This story is VERY personal to me. This story actually, literally parallels my life. I was born and raised on a small farm just outside of a small Southern Oregon coastal town. I was a medic in Viet Nam and was wounded. No silver star but a bronze star worked out fine for me. (got shot in the butt patching up a friend). I attended OHSU later on the GI Bill and lived in Portland while going to school. I have a band of buddies as described in the story. Lost many but still a very few of us around and we still get together yearly. I still live in Oregon but in a different locality.

Growing up we had logging trucks and I worked in the woods for a few years. My closet friend's dad owned the big sawmill nearby and my friend went into the military with me but we didn't serve together. They had a beach house also but not a large as in the story and we spent many happy days and nights there and had many beach bonfires. The only big difference is that none of us had such great women picking out our future spouses. I did well on that account all by myself and we had 44 great years together before cancer took my wife away. So what's not to like about the story. This series brought back MANY memories both good and sad. Thank you so much!!!

If I’m not mistaken, the Irish Catholics drink Jameson’s; Bushmills is for the Protestants. But a great read.

1st chapter? #1 story was the best. each one after that lost something.

I have read and enjoyed a couple of your stories on a defferent site. I was pleasantly surprised to find you here with additional stories. enjoyed this group.

MANNY DID THE RIGHT THING WITH THE BITCH EMILY WHO MADE ASSUMPTIONS WITHOUT ASKING!! THEN THERE ARE THE INTERFERING BITCHES LYDIA AND KAREN....WHY THE FUCK BLAME MANNY WHEN THEIR FRUEND BEHAVED LIKE A BITCH....WHY SHOULD MANNY APOLOGIZE!! FOR FUCK SAKE, MAKE YOUR MALE ESPECIALLY VETS STRONGER CHARACTERS

An excellent group of stories built around a group of Veterans, who had served together in the 'sand box' losing some of their number on the way.

Congratulations on depicting the friendships that can be and are formed in arduous circumstances, these friendships are truly built as brothers in arms, they can also extend to the other fighting forces and can be international as well

Okay ! I'm halfway through your creations and "There Isn't A Bad Apple In The Bunch"! Translation; I thoroughly enjoyed All of Them !

THANKS ! !
