“Insightful and delightful! John Graves offers invaluable lessons to anyone who wants to get the most out of life...should be mandatory reading for anyone who is interested in the world of television, film and entertainment. The well written anecdotes from John’s fascinating life feature a supporting cast that includes such legendary figures as Carol Channing and Lord Bertrand Russell!"
—Kendall R. Phillips, Ph. D., Associate Professor of Speech and Rhetorical Studies at Syracuse University, and author of Projected Fears: Horror Films and American Culture.“John Graves' memoirs are a warm and often humorous chronology of the TV and movie business during the second half of the 20th Century from someone who was active in many parts of both businesses on three continents. His anecdotes leave the reader with a feeling of having met and known the active participants personally.”
—Ralph Guild, CEO of Interep Radio Store, the pre-eminent National Sales Representative organization in the U.S., and scholar of the radio industry (with a room named after him in the Museum of Broadcasting in New York).“Wonderful! All ‘remember when’ in the most glowing ways. His superlative memory book will keep me going for weeks with the uplifting things he did, which trigger my personal uplifting things. No matter what vocation anyone has had, these “memoirs” can well help the pain of the leaves falling off the tree.“
