Editorial : About the Author Martin J. Dougherty is a Master Instructor with the Self-Defence Federation and a professionally qualified fencing coach. He has more than 20 years of experience as a sports instructor and has written or contributed to more than fifty books. He lives in the United Kingdom.
The author shares Kacie’s backstory detailing her connection to the LCR Elite team members and Brennan’s backstory connecting him to be a member of the LCR team. This is a good book about including students with Down syndrome in regular classes. Secondly, it is a sobering tale of labor-management relations. With his enthusiastic cooperation (he had been involved in the first two volumes) PILOT CUTTERS UNDER SAIL, Pilots and Pilotage in Britain and Northern Europe, was published by Seaforth Publishing, in association with the Royal Yacht Squadron in July.
