Michael N.'s Story
I've updated my 2008 mostly humorous memoir that includes stories about Davis, Sheridan, Hillhouse and Lehigh Univ. in the 50s and 60s.
Ed Cohen from our class compared it to Animal House. Howard Krosnick said, "I couldn't stop reading. I couldn't stop laughing." Another previewer said, "This book is so funny that I nearly peed in my pants. My girlfiend didn't think it was funny, so I got a new girlfriend."

It's available at Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble and other booksellers. The title is "Stories I'd Tell My Children (but maybe not until they're adults)."
The ISBN is 978-0-9816617-5-9. It has 318 pages and the cover price is $15.95. The e-book costs just $4.99.
You can read about Crazy Frehse, Steve Schmuck, the Freedom Shrine Room, Bob LeVine, George Kennedy, Marcia Young, Harry Levitin and Daddy Demon.
