I soon expanded my column in the Smithown Messenger from sports to politics, to editorials, a fishing column, and a sequence about the threat of local nuclear pollution. My journalism career followed local and United States senatorial elections.. After 34 years, I retired from teaching Special Education and continued writing for local weekly newspapers. I kept trying fiction and non-fiction, barely getting a paragraph on paper. Then my wife, Anne, who left Brooklyn when she was four, suggested a memoir workshop, and my creative writing began.
I left Brooklyn when I was 10, I have been trying to recapture it ever since. Here are my stories, my wanderings from Brooklyn, and across the United States, across a road that doesn't exist anymore with memories of a baseball park that's now an apartment building. Route 66 took me and my family from the concrete of Brooklyn to the lawns of Los Angeles. I slowly worked my way back east, to the vineyards of Southold.
This book is for my wife, Anne, who has carefully read every word.weniger sehen
