Before The Old U(VA) and I and The Old Boarding School, there was the boy who lived it all.
Born in 1943, the author spent his first fourteen years on the move—across Montreal, Canada, three northern states, two southern states, and eight different schools. Each stop brought new friendships, challenges, and a front-row seat to a rapidly changing America in the years after World War II.
Told with warmth, wit, and an eye for cultural detail, this memoir is a vivid portrait of boyhood in mid-century North America—complete with dormitories, classrooms, small-town streets, and the quiet moments that shape a life.
Part coming-of-age story, part historical snapshot, this book captures the experiences that built the foundation for a life of curiosity, resilience, and reflection. And with a unique “Rear View Mirror” epilogue spanning 1965–2025, it offers rare insight into a life still being lived.
A heartfelt journey through time, memory, and the making of a man.
