Serene,

Well, a block down Tioga Street from Bonk's is P.J. Dooling Tire Co. These guys are good friends of mine and we used to walk the block to Bonk's for refreshments. Still do when I'm in the Philadelphia Area.

Plus, Bonk's was one of the first books I finished but it sat around until I polished it up. It all started when I learned that John Bonk, Jr. was killed when the Marine Barracks was blown up in Lebanon in 1983. That was the kick-off for the original version. Now it has been moved forward to Iraq in the final.

Anyway...
