Searching for Joan Leslie

Going to school in the 30s, hustling hot dogs at Braves Field in the 40s, discovering Evelyn Waugh and Anthony Trollope, seeing the great Broadway musicals in the 50s, adventures in Morocco, Russia, Argentina, and the South Pacific, dining with Colin Powell, liberating a friend from a Juarez jail - these are a few of the waypoints on a 70-year journey from childhood in Boston to retirement on the coast of Maine. "Searching for Joan Leslie" is a collection of short essays.
