his book is the life journey of a seventy-nine-year-oldman who was asked by his grandchildren, What didyou do before you met Grandma?He pondered the thought, intrigued by thequestion, and answered that he had done a thing ortwo they might be interested in: produced televisionprograms, helped produce The Joy of Paintingprograms with Bob Ross, worked for President Nixonon a special project and with the woman who editedthe original Jaws movie.When they sat there, eating dessert afterThanksgiving that day in 2017, their eyes rapt withattention, he fleshed out the stories a bit to see if theyreally were interested. They seemed to be, so heasked them, If I wrote it down, would you read it?Oh yes, Grandpa, they urged him. Would youdo that for us?And that became the odyssey that is now thisbook.
