The Stories of Jake

About the Book

The Stories of Jake began as a real grandpa and equally real grandson enjoyed a game of chess, a visit to Gettysburg and attended a base ball game together. It’s really a love story meant to inform and motivate grandparents to teach and grandchildren to learn. There could have been hundreds of Jake stories written (and yet may be) about other adventures of this real grandpa and his real grandson.

This book is dedicated to my grand kids and their grandma. If you like these stories, please inform others and then tell my publisher. They know how to reach me.
