Truck of Potatoes

by Theresa Landry

There are so many stories that I have to share that are a result of my upbringing, my home, schools I attended and my Catholic faith that the only way to do them justice is to continue the remainder of the book in vignettes. These stories are a compilation of moments, days, weeks and years of feelings. These feelings exude a range of happy, sad, bittersweet, tender, determined and loving – all parts of me that show a person who refused to give in to the negative side of life. My positive attitude has always prevailed. I will attempt to categorize my stories into ones that refer to my family, my love of travel, my passion for dance and teaching dance, my naïve nature, my business sense and all the people I met as a result. ENJOY!!!

I rated this this thin bio of a local RI celebrity as high as I did because it provided me with an entertaining story and a few surprises! May people are told ...:you should write a book!" but Theresa is one person who has the stories to tell! Many of them a hoot! Apparently Theresa was America's first "illegal alien"! And the "Orgasm" story had me on the floor. And never did I expect a chapter on Kevin Doyle! And many memories were awakened through her reminisces... Ted Mack, Community Auditions, Breakwater Village... Knowing the 80-90 year old Theresa from afar this was an illuminating read!

Interesting details of a full life but my favorite was, "Oh, Oh, OOOOOHHhhhh!" Have to read the book.
