As told to Jerry Ziskind, May 2001

In January 2000, when my father's health was seriously deteriorating, the only time he showed interest in life when was when he was reminiscing. So I decided to reminisce with him. Weekly I would visit and we would talk about his life. I would tape record the interviews and then write his life story. So began this project that I hoped would give him something to look forward to.
