Chapters of a Life

About the Book

Chapters of a Life is a series of short stories that span decades of one man’s life—from the late 1920s through 2015. It chronicles the Great Depression, World War II, assassinations, loves, losses, and international events that Chaz Conner witnessed and reported as a news reporter and anchor emeritus. Some of the chapters are poignant. Some are lighthearted. All freestanding episodes contribute to the mosaic of this multifaceted man.
