Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This is not a memoir, it's a sorta-was, a collection of 25 humorous short stories that date back to the days of the unsupervised sixties.

He wasn't looking for trouble, it just found him. He was president and sole member of Highland Elementary's short-lived rock-throwing club, a chewing gum connoisseur, and woodshop survivee.

He now lives, teaches, and writes in Northern California, and owes a great deal to the very patient faculty and staff at Highland Elementary in Oildale.…
