Wally Howe grew up poor and fatherless on the mean streets of Jersey City in the 1940s, buoyed by a gang of neighborhood boys who helped guide and shield him. His life was centered around his volatile, devoted mother who struggled to keep them afloat. His life was changed when he was sent to Camp LaSalle, designed to broaden the horizons of boys like him. Here he encountered the glories of nature, the pleasures of fine food - and a first love. Camp LaSalle bolstered his desire to excel and sharpened his vision for a successful future. This memoir, based on the life of physician Raymond Maguire, is a testament to his striving spirit, dedication, and courage.
