In ROBBY, the author shares the many, oftentimes humorous, obstacles confronting him as a young boy during the Great Depression up through his hitch in a WWII United States Navy. There can be no doubt the Great Depression of the twenties and thirties was a harsh time. Money was scarce as were jobs. But squeezed in here and there were good times. Robby and his friends never saw themslves as victims rather they accepted the world as "the way it is." We were surrounded by adults who fervently believed "it takes a village to raise a child." Our heroes were real live adults akin to Miss Greenleaf who we believed knew all there was to know about absolutely everything because she was the librarian and must have read all those books. Or Miss Ingram, our 6th, 7th and 8th grade teacher whose dedication held parents and school officials in awe. Then there was Commander Edward L. Ellsberg United States Navy salvage officer. To us kids Elsberg led the most exciting life anone could hope to experience. Just as WWII followed on the heels of the Great Depression more heroes followed. They were not supermen rather they were ordinary men doing their jobs as they saw fit. ROBBY does not deal with great fetes of heroism. ROBBY takes you into a world never to be seen again as seen through the eyes of a teenager ultimately in an adult world. It is an attempt to get the reader to put the book down with a smile and wonder, "did that really happen?"

For Good Reason

Twenty years after he survived Vietnam, Daniel Mulvaney’s memoir about it is a best seller. But success brings unforeseen attention. An invitation from a mysterious Vietnamese, to return to the land that nearly took his life, takes Danny back to when an idealistic kid was unjustly expelled from college and drafted into the US Army. The old nightmares resume. He can’t work. His marriage is in trouble. As a young man in Brooklyn in 1968, Danny was unsure if his mom’s credo—everything happens for good reason—was wisdom or corny idiom, but he was determined to be a man worthy of Amanda, the girl he loved. Gino Sebastionelli, his closest friend, wanted to bolt for Canada together, but Danny wouldn’t be swayed. His idealism blinded him to the horrors ahead. He’d be wounded, decorated, betrayed, face court martial, and then be saved by Tom Tyler, an officer from Danny’s college town, where all his troubles began. When Danny’s platoon was nearly wiped out, Tyler was captured, and Danny would have to lead a green platoon, against orders, into the U-Minh—The Forest of Darkness—in order to have any chance of saving his lieutenant…
