The Man Who Fell From The Sky

This creative non-fiction is part of the "Franky" series, a collection of tales about growing up the son to a six-foot leprechaun, a warrior, a husband, a coach, a crooner and most of all a father. Frank's kid brother was never my favorite person, let alone uncle. The two men were born and reared in the same Brooklyn working-class household, yet their values and views were world's apart. Why? I often wondered. The enclosed story addresses part of the answer. Much like Mrs. Dubose of "To Kill A Mockingbird," the circumstances that compel our lives are painted in more than black and white brush strokes.
