description: Back in the late 1950's, Bill Seaton's family was no different than many other modern-day pioneers heading west to southern California with stars in their eyes and their belongings in a U-Haul trailer. But the spunky Seaton family's trip and their subsequent life in the "Promised Land" are anything but conventional. Seaton records his family's adventures--and misadventures in a hilarious new book, "Humorous Letters from the Chronicles of a Crazy Clan." A public relations executive for SeaWorld in San Diego--who perhaps missed his calling and should have been a comedian--offers up a collection of annual year-end letters he sent to friends and family over three decades. With tongue firmly in cheek, he tells of the ups and downs of his and wife Lovae's brood of four children. The nostalgic mini-memoirs joyously capture the essence of the l960s, l970s and l980s in southern California as he held fun positions with a large ad agency, Sea World, the San Diego Zoo and the California Lottery. The book is a delightfully demented description of a loveably crazy clan. A fast, fun read you can't put down, it is filled with antecdotes of Seaton's experiences with dozens of stars and celebrities from Dean Martin and Brooke Shields to Perry Como, Howard Cosell and astronaut Eugene Cernan, last man to walk on the moon. Dr. Denis Waitley, author of "Seeds of Greatness" "Erma Bombeck has a male soul mate. If laughter is the best medicine, Bill has cured me of my ills."
