I participated in a reminiscence writing class conducted by Ellie Hoppe at Scottsdale’s OASIS facility in 1993. It resulted in my writing numerous stories about my life that now appear on this blog site rather than in print. This format allows me to add new yarns to the list and to edit existing ones.
Many people helped me in this endeavor including
Jim Mc Allister who suggested I create this blog; Jackie (Ortt) DeStefano, a
high school pal who helped polish my prose and verify the accuracy of some of
my Hoboken recollections; the Scottsdale Mustang Library's Critique Writers
group whose member offered numerous suggestions to improve my yarns; and
most significantly, my wife, Angie. She gave me the luxury of time to pursue
this project, a solitary endeavor.
