Jay, was this a recent correspondence with Mr Lubbeck? I emailed him 2 weeks ago but had no response as yet.
Here's a photo of the cover mate and Glenn, I got this about a month ago but it took Mr Lubbeck a good few weeks to reply to my email.
He's 93 now so probably takes things in his stride

I've also got this one signed.
I believe Herr Schmidt passed away in the last few years unfortunately.
Jay.
And this is the last one that I've got that is signed.
It was signed when I purchased it so I don't know who Phil is!

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
