Don Barone

I failed English 10, three times in High School, had to take all three in summer school to graduate. Been writing for a living since I was paid $10-bucks and a burger and fries for a story published in my college newspaper 40 YEARS AGO. Been doing good with fingers still crossed I can get through the career without being asked to diagram a sentence.
