I spent the better half of my career in the field of Direct Mail. So you might blame me for much of the junk mail you get! During that period, I set out to write my memoir. I believe that everyone has a story and that mine would interest someone other than myself! I did not do this with thought of having it published. Maybe that was because I wasn't ready for a publisher's rejection. Besides, this was good therapy and some- thing I truly enjoyed doing. Now, I am busy cutting down this voluminous manuscript and still enjoying it. One of my idols is Neil SImon. I was particularly impressed when I learned how he had based much of his material on his own life. Sure, he has changed certain things around, but don't most of us wish we could rewrite our own history or future? zack
