		Michael Collins is fine when it sticks to broad strokes across the canvas of history, illustrating how the use of violence as a last resort has been perverted into the first resort today.

	Michael Collins Visit 2004
		Collins confessed he wasn't used to signing "Michael." Preferring "Mike" or simply "M"., but still signed "Michael," per our request, with varying degrees of success, when he did a good one, he would say "There's the Michael!", or conversely "there goes the Michael again".
		Collins is admittedly fussy about inscriptions, preferring not to have "words put in my mouth" which is why he writes his own books without any assistance from professional authors, very confident of his own skills in literature and English.
		General Collins kept saying how impressed he was with our gallery, the crew, our preparation and profesionality, which we love to hear, as it bodes well for a return and hopefully some good word of mouth to other astronauts.

		Collins (1890-1922) is remembered as the man who outfoxed the British in the Irish War of Independence, led the hard-nosed negotiations that resulted in the eventual establishment of the Irish Republic and became head of state at the age of 31.
		Collins and Kiernan both referred to their pages as "quick notes" and such, yet the pages contained few cross outs and changes which indicated that that both writers gave their "quick notes" quite a bit of thought.
		The Michael Collins we see in these letters is a man of deep feelings, not primarily for Kitty Kiernan (although that too), but for his country and his fellow Irish.
