When I returned to the States, the next fall of 1989, the original manuscript was conceived under the urging of college buddy and the supervision of one of his English professors. It never progressed beyond an incomplete draft once enough material had been submitted for the one month independent study. Twenty six years later, while I was in prison, it came back to life when my mother, who still had the original draft, mailed me a copy. After I read through it I let a guard read it and he encouraged me to sit down and finish the book. I had access to an old IBM Wheelwriter in the Chapel as well as up in the music rooms where I worked. I completed the book by first working on writing about the periods that were missing from the story, anecdote by anecdote. Then I started from the beginning and re-wrote the entire book. A more detailed account of this is actually in the "Forward" available in the "Look Inside" portion of the book on Amazon.(less)
