Brilliant and Inspiring

I wish everyone would read this book. It is, quite simply, one of the best things I have ever read.

What a delight!

This is an amazing account of American "can do" through depression, war, family difficulties, financial ups and downs. It is wonderful to know that Alton Tabor has achieved his ultimate potential and has the total support of his family and friends. May he enjoy it for many years to come. Cheers! from an enthusiastic Book Worm EW

Completely enjoyable book!!!

This book was very enjoyable to read and has a wonderful way of making you believe that you can survive just about anything. Mr. Tabor survived the Great Depression, Hollywood and went on to be a sucessful businessman and is now retired and lives with his daughters. I highly recommend people read this inspirational story and then pass it on to family and friends!

A Gift to Succeeding Generations

What an interesting life, from hardscrabble boyhood to Hollywood to the Royal Ascot. Alton Tabor, a former actor who did TV commercials for major corporations, has written a memoir that's good model for others to follow. Even those with seemingly ordinary lives would do well to write their own. They provide a great legacy for friends, relatives and family genealogists. With an oral history, much can be lost in the telling. This story was done in the most enduring and detailed way, by committing words to paper. Tabor tells his story well. His life includes being raised by a single mother during the Depression, serving in the Navy during World War Two and Korea, trying to make it as an actor, and eventually becoming involved in the world of horse racing. His story, interspersed with family triumphs and tragedies, is dedicated to his exceptional mother, Emily Rebecca Tabor. It's a good read.
