The Autobiography has Arrived
Aug. 16th, 2009 04:52 pmA few days ago I mentioned that Wally Boag's autobiography had been published.
My copy has arrived, and will occupy an honored place on my coffee table for the forseeable future.
Front Cover
Frontispiece with signatures of Wally and Gene
This edition is numbered 57 of 200.
It's hard for me to express how thrilled I am that this book has finally been published. I spoke to Gene on the phone on Saturday, and told him myself - and had the privilege of visiting with Wally and Ellen last month while I was shuttling between Sonoma and San Diego, about a week before the books were slated to arrive.
Wally and his good wife are among the world's finest people. This book will give those who have not met them personally, but who may be familiar with them through Wally's long, long career a chance to become familiar with their lives in an appropriate way (as opposed to the one discussed in my previous entry!)
I was fortunate enough to get to know Wally through my father, who was an entertainment colleague - and the Boags were gracious enough to continue to include me in their circle after Pop had moved on to a bigger stage.

I'm so grateful that this beautiful memento is now available for the world at large to enjoy. Buy a copy. Now.
