Good Genes, Luck, Lots of Prayers

Book excerpt: GOOD GENES, LUCK, A LOT OF PRAYERS by Bob Kascht, is a memoir of an ordinary life, written in a flowing style, which elevates the little things and the common people to a higher level where the mlange of memories evokes more reflections on life in the mind of the reader. "These memories were registered in detail, on a fine grain emulsion, and with full flavor. Thankfully, the retrieval is printed in gentle sepia, softening some of the glare and pain. I am now in a quiet time, a holding pattern, awaiting the landing.I hope our children can gain increased appreciation of our earnest efforts, and our love for them. As a side benefit, I should like those who follow to realize that we were more than just faded photographs, alive and "full of beans." It would be the ideal reward if they wish they had known us." Happily, every reader will know the people who step from these pages.
