Phoenix to LA

Following a four-decade career treating people with severe disabilities, the author looks back at the impact of the late 1960's in shapinghis life. The 1968 Chicago DNC, anti-war protesting, the 1969 Denver Pop Festival,the 1970 Draft Lottery, a pivotal hitchhiking trip in the California desert, dropping out of school, falling in and out of love, winding up in the Army, and treating

hundreds of same-age soldiers for heroin addiction in Vietnam represent just a few of 

the events that pushed and pulled a young man through three tumultuous years. "Phoenix to LA" stirs precious memories among those who were there and serves as a textbook of sorts for those who were not. It is sensitive, non-stop, living history for 

"children of the sixties," their children, and their children's children.
