Dancing My Way Through Life (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781088102145)

This is an autobiography of a Brooklyn boy who loved the Brooklyn Dodgers, Charles Lindbergh, and Tito Puente.

My stories will lift your spirits because they are exciting, funny, and unbelievable.

My friends say I was a Renaissance man who lived the best life.

My book contains unusual facts that will astound you.

Did Jackie Robinson remember you seven years later when you took him to your junior high school where you were teaching?

Why did the great Orlando Marin, the "Last Mambo King", choose you to lead his band?

How did you become close friends with Tito Puente?

When you invited the world-famous Latin bandleaders Charlie and Eddie Palmieri to dinner at your house, did they come?

Why did you spend so much time around John McEnroe on and off the court?

As an historian, how did you get to know the greatest female pilot of all time, Elinor Regina Patricia Ward?

When you had dinner with Erik Lindbergh, the grandson of Charles, did he reveal what kind of grandfather Charles Lindbergh really was?

Are you one of the few people who truly know why Charles visited Germany five or six times a year for thirty-eight years until his death in 1972?

How did you get to play the conga drums during a serious Santeria-Voodoo religious ceremony?

Tell me about the most exciting moment you experienced on the dance floor? Was it winning the Mambo Salsa Dance Contest at the Copacabana? Or was it winning the Mambo Salsa Dance Competition at New York City's World Resorts Casino in 2016?

One of my longtime dancing partners, Donna Roberts, said, "I think it was when you were defending your championship at the Resorts in 2017, at the age of 81 and blew the competition away. I never saw you so happy. Your dance partner Beverly Butlegt went into shock and had to sit down while you went up to every table to receive congratulations."
