Scalawag

The Scalawag is Jerry Fisher's story about a life that has taught him a thing or two, or three... Born in poverty before the Great Depression, 90-year-old Jerry Fisher recalls his life in remarkable detail that includes his courageous mother who was fierce about her children's welfare but tragically silent about her own life-threatening illness, and a long-held, painful family secret revealed to him when he was twelve. With Ruth, his beloved wife of 61 years, at his side, Jerry-Merchant Marine, chef, restaurateur, son, brother, friend, husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather-made his own way, through hard times, good times, failures, and successes. He includes photos spanning four generations and tells the story of his life the way he lived it-honestly and straight up.
