Each episode special and unique

From my birth in Brooklyn, childhood adventures in Rockville Centre, L.I., growing up with relatives and friends in East New York to serving in the 5th Marine Division, fighting the Japanese and then befriending them while in the 2nd Division occupation, is a simple, sit down comfortably and listen, story.
