About the Author

After having attended 4 different colleges,one of which was Christ College at Oxford University without having a degree, I finally realized, at the age of 23 there would be no M.D. attached to the name of Larry Wagger. Compounding my age of discontent after getting out of a military hospital Fort Dix from the war to end wars, I headed to Hollywood. I stopped by Savannah, Ga to pay my respects to a family that gave comfort to me while I helped form the Eighth Air Force.but I was short-stopped by this four foot eleven inch angel with a halo that included a job at a shoe store where I must have been infected with a shoe disease caused by being punctured in the ass by a high heel. Whatever! It took! From traveling four years on the road as a shoe salesman, rising to sales manager of the company, buying a small shoe factory in Spain to making fifteen hundred pairs of shoes a day to traveling nearly four million miles all over the world making and selling shoes, and here I am. I hope you like the book..
