Just Reminiscing

One of the authors began conducting business transactions at the age of six when he operated a shoeshine stand at the Grand Army Plaza in Brooklyn, New York. Who would have guessed he'd win a handful of scholarships and fellowships at Harvard? For that matter, the coauthor started out as a farmboy yearning to enlist in the US Navy-a yearning that grew more intense when his mom intercepted his army draft notice, and suddenly it disappeared. Once fulfilling his dream of becoming a sailor, who would have guessed he'd wind up getting slammed by an errant fuel hose, landing him smack into the Atlantic Ocean without a paddle. This little book of vignettes relates the very personal and sometimes sad, sometimes downright silly and funny experiences and adventures of two old guys who've seen it all. The authors Paul Pendell Mok and Larry Rummell enjoy telling tales and hope you enjoy reading them as much as they did writing them.
