I was pleasantly surprised at how much personal information was included in this book. Everyone around Jim appears to have been extremely cooperative and open and Jim’s personal journal entries were quoted quite often. I have to admit that the first part of the book covering his ancestors and his very early youth were not all that interesting to me but then once we hit the high school years it was all fascinating through to the end.
I hadn’t been aware of all the television commercials Jim did early in his career but was delighted to discover that many of them are available to watch online. I got a real kick out of watching the Wilkins Coffee spots in particular.
