"I love this book."
- Tom Stites, editor, UU (Unitarian Universalist) World

"My new goal in life is to someday have someone write a book like this about me. This book is a testimony to both Cliff and Vin and to the heart-gifts they gave to one another. We are most fortunate that these gifts are now available to each of us through the power of Cliff's writing, the memories explored, and the lessons learned."
- Robin Schoenthaler, MD, radiation oncologist, Harvard Medical School & Massachusetts General Hospital

"I could not put your book down until I read it all. Many thanks for sharing this wonderful work that came out of love."
- Bruce Green, learning and project leader, Keane Consulting, Inc.

"I read the first chapter, then the second, then the third. Your book is outstanding––such spirit."
- Mark Levy, author of Accidental Genius: Revolutionize Your Thinking Through Private Writing

"Life's Too Short to drink Cheap Wine brought tears of both sadness and joy: that such honesty and openness actually exists and that, when given and accepted, the gifts are lifelong. In asking myself the questions about relationships in general that you ask of friendship, it dawns on me that these gifts are everywhere and that, sometimes, from the least expected rather than the most. It has given me a new way of being thankful for the people who "rekindle [my] inner spirit," one of whom is you."
- Lucinda I. Doran, Ph.D., principal, The Corporate Advisory Group

"Your book is like semi-sweet chocolate. A taste of joy overrides any bitterness."
- Ben Rudnick, musician, recording artist and producer

"At the end of every chapter, my memory would travel to grade school, or college, or my work life, and I would be reminded of the vital importance of those relationships. This book opens the heart of the reader to experience again those intimate bonds that make us human."
- Peter Southwick, director of photojournalism, Boston University

"Life's Too Short to Drink Cheap Wine is a keeper. I see it being read over and over, with the reader finding something new in it each time. Your words, this story, came at a time in my life when something more was needed––and truly made a difference. There are no accidents."
- Jan Thompson, career coach

"Think about what your friendships mean in this moment. Live them now. Pick up the phone or visit. Don't wait until tomorrow. Get together and make magic. Maybe you'll say, "I forget my worries when I'm with you."
