Sing for Me, Betty Lee

by Bill Tucker

This book is written in the narrative style of a novel (Bill is a published novelist), complete with the dialogue that makes this book enormously readable. It tells of the sometimes hilarious events of Bill's youth--his beginnings as a southern barefoot boy with cheek--and of the true romance he had with life and the 60¬ year love affair with a girl who always had moonlight in her eyes. The account of his years as a merchant seaman, his college years with the returning WWII veterans, his years as a university faculty member, and his migration north to spend the last thirty years of his career as an editor and publisher of technical magazines prompted this response from a friend who read the prepublication It is a great read, full of humor, emotion, athos, and wonderful writin our last a e devoted to Betty Lee made me cry.
