by Bernard D. Shapiro (Author)
Bernard has assembled this collection of life experiences strictly from memory as all of the incidences have obviously been indelibly marked in his brain. He attempts to take you on an abridged disjointed journey featuring highlights of his life as he remembers them, beginning with his untraditional Bar Mitzvah and his numerous adventures in the following sixty four years. Some of the stories are tragic, some serious, and some humorous, but all contributed to making him the person he is today - a sometimes articulate seventy seven year old young puppy, widower, father and grandfather, who has soldiered on through a myriad of arduous circumstances, some of which resulted in laughter, and some sadly in tears, but his tail is still wagging. Trying not to take himself or life seriously, he continues to seek laughter. He recognizes that for many of the stories "you had to be there". He was!!!..........And now he attempts to "take you there" too.
