In this memoir he "remembers his development from within, through the encounters of his interior self with the outer world.

He then recapitulates that journey through an album of pictures, answering the challenge of autobiography in ways rarely, if ever, seen before." 341 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . .
