description: 30 plus years in the writing this book has at last come to print. It is a wonder that Lester has somehow managed to keep his sense of humor after all he went through as an orphan and waif in World War II England. Some of the funniest saddest most poignant stories are included in the book which covers the time he was dropped off by his father to the Church of England nursery as a baby to his enlistment in the British Army. His hair-raising ride on the green penny-farthing bike is a classic as well as the gift from Santa of Harry the Invisible Cricket.
