Just because it's a bad idea doesn't mean it isn't worth doing.
These are the guys who will run into a burning building to save you.
Story after story of the everyday triumphs and tragedies, of the sweat and fear, of the selfless heroics by ordinary men and women of the Fire Department. You need to read this.
It's deep. It's dark. The currents are monsterous. Diving the Jersey shore and discovering a German UBoat is a real adventure full of death, destruction, courage, and damn fine divers.
William Garner was born in Memphis, Tennessee, and raised in Senatobia, Mississippi, Hernando, Mississippi, and Jonesboro, Arkansas. Despite his best efforts, he became a graduate of The University of Mississippi where he enjoyed skydiving, hunting, fishing, water skiing, scuba diving, music, liquor, raw oysters, boiled shrimp, football, women and occasionally attended class. Following a thirty year career in Information Technology, during which he became a recognized authority on Unix Systems Administration, he has become a semi-retired nuisance. In addition to being the Pit Boss on his award winning competition barbeque team and writing novels, he has become a PADI Scuba diving instructor.
He is the father of two daughters and one son. His grandsons actually are Chaos and Mayhem.He and his long suffering wife, Landi, now live in their new home in a small Florida gulf coast community. They are enjoying the good life.
“This little gem of a book is becoming a beloved classic and and will one day be an Oscar-winning blockbuster of a movie, á la Forrest Gump”
The writer, William L. Garner, bills this as fiction, but it reads like a series of connected essays that form a first person, non-fiction account of (possibly) his own childhood (albeit with a generous helping of “fish story” creative embellishment, and maybe a flat out whopper or two).
“This series of hilarious vignettes, set in the South in the late 60’s, is narrated by a wonderfully precocious and self-assured 10 year old named Willie…I think. I’m still unsure about his name and a couple of other things. But trust me…get past that, and you are in for a treat! The writer is good, and the bones are solid. You WILL be entertained!
I laughed so hard that I actually cried (a little). Bill’s an extremely talented wordsmith!
If you were brought up in any of the southern states mentioned you should find this book quite entertaining.
Great book for a summer read!
