How does one accomplish the telling of a life? The childhood memories, the adventures of family, the path of a career and a lifetime of service? In the hands of master storyteller Allen Sher, we revisit those days through colorful portrayals. From growing up in Brooklyn to picnics at Coney Island, service in World War II and dedication to teaching in New York and Vermont public schools, we travel with the author through times past. A passion for folk and square dancing, community commitment and teaching lead us to see his remarkable life and all those touched by his dedication. There are people we meet in the course of our lives who become unforgettable. Allen Sher is one of those people, and readers will delight in his humor and fond remembrances.
