It All Matters

About the Book

If by chance, you don't understand yourself; you don't understand why you are the way you are, take the time to reflect on your past.

Many answers are there waiting for you.

It may not be the easiest thing you have ever attempted, but it might just be the most rewarding.

In It All Matters, the author searches his past to better understand himself. He recalls his childhood and the people and experiences that most affected him. He relives his early adult years: a time of challenge, accomplishment, and disappointment.

Retirement brings frustration in an ever changing world he neither likes nor understands.

All described with enough wit to keep one laughing and thirsting for more. A dog helps to free restrained love. A man of the cloth shows him the way, and he turns to God. A son falls to stress, and he himself is threatened by illness. His faith is challenged.

About the Author

The author was born in Flushing, NY during the depression. The hospital bill was $80. His father said it was a rip off.

Raised in Jackson Heights and Forest Hills, Queens, NY.

A graduate of Rutgers University of New Jersey, where college football began in 1869, and where today, after decades of frustration, a nationally top ranked team and Bowl winner takes the field. And where in 2007, for the first time ever, a group of women athletes joined together to bring the Rutgers basketball team to the NCAA finals.

Served in the army for two years at Fort Bliss, Texas as an instructor and then spent the next 33 years selling and wondering why he left the service.

Now retired, he resides in a golfing community in Calabash, NC where he applies what's left of his body to golf and what's left of his mind to writing.

Loves and enjoys his wife, Elaine, who forever spoils him, and his six children and their families, all of whom do their utmost to accept this "salty old dog."
