Wrote my autobiography: "The Crazy Life of a Kid From Brooklyn"
Reviewed by Gretchen Jawurek for Readers' Favorite
The title The Crazy Life of a Kid from Brooklyn says it all; Bill Morgenstein has a full and fascinating life and probably is still cooking up some new adventure. Every week, every month, every year there was a new adventure and all in the name of business. Mr. Morgenstein was in the shoe business, not just selling in the local shoe stores, although that is where he started, but he swiftly made a name for himself. He was the one that went to the factories in the States and overseas - Spain, Germany, Brazil, Holland and Italy - to bring the new styles to the companies that would sell to the stores or sell the new styles in their own shops. The book starts with him as a child growing up in Brooklyn and progresses to World War 2 and joining the military. The shoe sales part of his life is after World War 2. His story and all the amazing things he does will give you a look at society before and after the war. It will amaze you.
I wish we could do business like they used to; it was so fun and creative! Nowadays businesses are bogged down with so many regulations and taxes that they do not have time to be creative. Reading this book is a buckle up and hang on situation, because you are about to get on the craziest ride in the amusement park. I couldn’t believe all the pranks Bill got away with, pranks done to officers and bosses, but everyone loved Bill. Bill is this personable guy that can talk to anyone, and the celebrities and important dignitaries he mentions that he meets borders on outrageous. It is fantastic! The places he goes and the things he does are incredible. He does and says all the things we would like to do and say but would never be that bold - but he never forgets to be polite. When you are talking about people, places and things, Bill’s life is full of all of them.
