They need not be concerned. With our high-tech medical procedures, and superior antibiotics, they too may reach my age, and cold turn out looking more youthful. The day I turned ninety, I couldn't believe my good fortune to have survived infancy during a flu epidemic, teen-years in the Great Depression,, and my manhood in a terrible war. (I don't dare bring up my 64 years of marred life to two wonderful women.)\u003cbr\u003e So, what does a person do on his ninetieth birthday, and please don't laugh? I took on the job of finishing a memoir I began writing when I turned eighty.\u003cbr\u003e Since life at my age is uncertain, one dares not temp fate. And though this appears to be a human condition, my readers can circumvent such problems by following this advice: Should you ever run into this author while rushing to an important event, don't ask him for street direction, or the time of the day: You could end up listening to his story of his boyhood in Slovakia.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"I have read biographies before. This one I will read again. Andrew Salat has a way with words that could inspire most of us to write our own story.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e ---- Mina Sirovy P.H.D\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e More Books By The Author:\u003cbr\u003e When September Comes\u003cbr\u003e After September: A Sequel\u003cbr\u003e The Auction: A Love Story\u003cbr\u003e Eleven Stories For Romantics\u003cbr\u003e Encounters: A Love Story\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Cover Designed By The Author","brand":"CreateSpace Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48511302598897,"sku":"9781453808849","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9781453808849_p0.jpg?v=1786124701","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781453808849","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
