Stuck in the Sixties: The Ollie Richards Story

About the Book

The Ollie Richards Story: Stuck in the Sixties takes place mainly in the 1960’s at Mr. Grossfield’s college, S.U.N.Y. at New Paltz. It explores the pulse of those confusing and turbulent times and then speeds forward into the next few decades. The book is semi-autobiographical as Mr. Grossfield is viewed as an observer on the sidelines, as the world changes before him. It is a learning experience not only for Mr. Grossfield, but for the reader as well.
