Publisher's Synopsis
My manuscript tracks my life from a small town in Massachusetts, to life at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base as a teenager, to the University of Florida as a student-athlete, to Brevard County (in Florida) as a community college baseball coach and health/physical education instructor (for a total of 30 years), to employment as a fitness club exercise floor staff member (for over 15 years). While my life has involved mostly sports and fitness, I have enjoyed making the acquaintances of thousands of people. I find a variety of people to be interesting, enjoyable, and humorous. My experiences (with my family, with younger adults at the community college, and with older adults at the fitness club) provide me with several meaningful and humorous memories. People Who Knew Jack can best be described as compilation of humorous (sometimes corny) anecdotes. I also try to intersperse my reflections, values, and opinions on life throughout the book.
