Not a biography and not told in chronological order, author Stanley Howard Mazin takes you on a journey of a reminisces of his life. Not a show business massive per- say, this is the story of a man of extraordinary positive energy lucky enough to make a living doing what he loves in the theatrical field. In the book, Stan earnestly shares, through thoughts and personal antidotes philosophy and life lessons learned from each encounter he experiences. Reflecting on family, friends, travel, and so much more, including stores from some of his show business friends and contacts along the way, Stan reveals himself as the dedicated, hardworking, loving, loyal, talented, and creative man he has always been. I might dare suggest the term 'mensch' suits the author to a tee, as readers may experience for themselves in this most sincere, heartfelt book.
