A funny thing happened on my way to a career

About the Book

Bill Saylor provides an interesting well written trip through the last half of the Twentieth Century. His insights are those honed by years of an observer who was bound to report the facts. His disappointments and successes are detailed with his humor close at hand. His experience covering the nudist convention is, shall we say, reveling and worth the price of admission.
—J. Richard Gray—Mayor, City of Lancaster, PA

The pleasure of reading Mr. Saylor’s biography and historical narrative comes from his wealth of anecdotes. Enriched by the details of a life lived with passion, spontaneity, and frequently on the edge, readers will be transported by boyhood adventures during the Great Depression, coming of age near the mid-20th Century, career struggles and successes, as well as, personal triumphs and disappointments. For readers familiar with life and personalities in Lancaster, PA in the 1960’s - 1990’s, this is a must-read.
