About vvpublishing

Although a bit premature, you can read my obituary on my website. After giving my mom some relief showing up as a nine pound baby boy at Sister of Charity Hospital in Buffalo New York, I ventured west with the USAF as soon as I could to escape a family business. Upon a mostly honorable discharge, I landed in Sedona, picked weeds, poured coffee, and worked in one of the areas famous orchards until getting a couple of degrees from the local university. I began to marry and divorce and had three children in the process. I began attempting to teach English to the northern Arizona masses although certain local businessman felt that since I was Italian, I should open a shoe repair shop.. I taught at Page High School, Mingus Union High School and Yavapai College in a career of over 30 years and counting. I should have taken the businessman's advice.
