Produktbeschreibung
Someone once said the first year of work is the freshman year of life. For me, no truer words have been written. The year-and-a-half spent working in a small market television station four decades ago was one of the most significant periods of my life. I worked as a news reporter, met a man who taught me the game of chess along with some important principles for living, and I married the woman who has been with me ever since. Mixed in with these personal stories are the real life news and sports stories of the period of time from mid-1979 through the fall of 1980. Mount St. Helens, the Carter/Reagan presidential race, the American Hostages in Iran, the US Olympic Hockey team miracle on the ice, and many other events left an indelible mark on many of us. Come back with me to Binghamton, New York. It's 1979 and we're about to embark on a truly incredible journey.

This is Steve's third novel. He has authored a dozen books including memoirs centering on his life from his youth (Growing Up, Upstate and Grown Up, Going Home) on up to his first year after college (Stand By, Camera One).
