 Jul. 9, 2012 Source: Agri Marketing magazine John Montandon, a well-known figure in ag marketing, wrote the recently published book, "By His Own Blood," about his father, "Doc" Montandon, a Texas cotton farmer recognized for his great character and strong religious principles. In good health, Doc was transfused with bad blood as a result of a physical exam. To make matters worse, the incident was covered up and the Texas farmer was not apprised of his condition. Doc suffered horribly and died from AIDS caused by the tainted HIV blood, never knowing why. Based upon a true story, this engaging and award winning book starts by recounting how Montandon's ancestors settled, farmed, and survived in the Rolling Plains of West Texas. And it climaxes when the legacy of his dad's personal values help his son to understand the kind of forgiveness that can only come from his father's sacrifice by his own blood. From his boyhood adventures along the Brazos River to the day he found peace with his father's tragic death, By His Own Blood is an emotional experience the reader will never forget. The book is available on www.byhisownblood.com, or in Kindle eBook at www.Amazon.com or www.CreateSpace.com.
