Overview

After self publishing "Died Twice" in 2012 and l'epilogue in 2018, I decided in 2021, as I turned eighty five, to conclude the autobiographical trilogy with my final compilation of quasi articulate unauthorized ramblings. In this, the final edition of my soap opera life story, there is a good mix of over forty old and new tales. I spend a good deal of time explaining the PACE story that transpired over twenty five years ago, and my latest experiences via the PEARL restaurant vignette that basically started in late 2018. For historical purposes I have also included a word by word copy of the lengthy memorialized official factual record of the HOAX at the Aqua that gave rise to the novel Russian Revenge...The Hoax at the Aqua," which in 2017, I co-authored with my since deceased writing partner, John Nolan. I have also briefly described the Paul Shapiro story as we have been friends now for sixty eight years. As the Corona virus pandemic engulfed us all, I also relate my personal uplifting experience with the extended quarantine and intermittent lock down and appropriate social distancing. Thankfully these latest stories are all lighter and happier than the original "Died Twice," as they are basically devoid of any additional personal tragedies or ultra sad experiences. Once again, I hope my children, grand children and some friends will enjoy a number of the stories that they may have personally experienced with me over the years.
