Overview
"How many of us wish that we'd spoken with our parents, grandparents or loved ones to hear their life stories in their own words before they left us? Author Jack Livingston did just that with his father, Bill, in the years before he passes away in 2024. At Any Rate That's My Dad, is a heartwarming collection of conversations between a father and his son. Produced with Jack's gently prodding and rendered with a fine ear for his father's speech and mannerisms, we hear about Bill's early days in Buffalo, his love of baseball, commitment to his family, and Jack's evolution into the role of caregiver for his dad. On these two-dimensional pages, Bill Livingston becomes three-dimensional. Preserved forever in dialogue and prose." -Rick Ohler, author of Have You Lived Her All Your Life?... Not Yet." "I spent a summer weekend getting to know a man I'd never met through the wonderful conversations he had with his son. Truly a family treasure, these stories made me laugh and sometimes cry. But always made me happy that I had the chance to meet Jack's dad."- Debby Sullivan "Friendships are forged by life experiences, tempered by shared values and interests. Bill and I enjoyed a rich and enduring bond that began with our shared faith. That bond included a love of railroading, gardening, wine tasting, and sports. It was a blessing to call Bill a dear friend and neighbor. Enjoy these passages, written by his son, Jack, that capture the spirit of this great man."- Alan Swajkoski, MD
