I’m working on a memoir about my life in military broadcasting. In a book of this type, would it be proper to use persons names that were a part of this history or am I leaving my self open for a potential lawsuit? Some of the people have passed on. Other might be alive but im not in contact with them. My book progress has stopped until I get some answers on this. where would one get an answer to something like this?
