And Today is Only Monday: Reflections of Days Past Vern Thornton

Going back to the 1920s the book follows the life of a man in a small New England town as he gives up a secure government job to become a newspaper reporter, then an editor, with dramatic and often humorous accounts of events of the times. Hoodwinked into a new profession, this time in law enforcement, examine his career in Connecticut and Florida that followed. His final career takes him to the Florida Attorney General's office where he becomes founder of a nationally acclaimed program. But all is not just work in the life of this man. The second part of the book recalls his various world trips of unusual circumstances and when he meets some of the most fascinating people to be found anywhere.
