Publisher's Synopsis
This book is for every grandparent, parent, and grandchild. (If you are not one of these, please do not read this book!) You will want to share it with your family and friends and pass it along. Dr. Larry S. Harte has forged through life wanting to succeed, enjoy, and give back to his community, and in this book, he accomplishes all three goals. It's a delightful assortment of shared experiences and insights about life, history, philosophy, relationships, family, travel, and other passions. During prolonged walks and talks with his adored and adorable grandchildren, Harte reveals not only the man but the times he has lived through and the lessons he has learned. Harte's journey takes his grandchildren and readers through Brooklyn of the 1930s and '40s, moving on through school, college, the Air Force, and eventually his career as a leader in the field of orthodontics. Also included are a collection of Harte's original essays, speeches, quips, poems, and even orthodontic brochures, all of which brim with avuncular humor. Ultimately, his portrayal is one of a dedicated family man who wants to inspire his children, grandchildren, and "grandchildren all over the world" to find their dreams and pursue them with gusto. This book is about the author's family, but also your family.
