Iâve lived eighty years and experienced much of what is written in this book. Some really happened and some are the figments of my very fertile imagination. Itâs about love, life, and death. Itâs also about living in and around Charleston, South Carolina, during and after World War II. Itâs about fishing in the rivers and lakes, which, at that time, were teeming with fish and other wildlife. Itâs funny, itâs profound, and itâs thought provoking, perhaps influenced to a large extent by the writings of the great Lewis Grizzard. Itâs about laughing and crying with my friendsâmany times about myself. As Mr. Shakespeare said, âLaugh and the world laughs with you . . . cry and you cry alone.â So enjoy this book as we go through life smiling together.
