He was my dad's favorite author.  The first one I read was Bourne Ultimatum then the Matarese series.  I read The Bourne Identity as a teenager.  All his books are page turners.

When I was a little girl in California, mom loved to watch this TV series about Dr. Richard Kimble and it starred David Janssen(I later learned that we were watching reruns because the series ended in 1967 and I wasn't even born yet).  About twenty years later(1993), I was able to watch this movie starring Harrison Ford(one of my Hollywood crushes) and Tommy Lee Jones.  It was nail-gripping, nail-biting, exciting, et cetera.   Twenty-one years later(2014), I got the chance to watch this again, via Cinemax .
