Praise for Splendid Seniors:
Great Lives, Great Deeds

"Jack Adler's new book is great!
Splendid Seniors should be in
every school library, if not on
every required reading list.
It contains a lot of things
I'd forgotten, as well as many new
and interesting facts about the
selected "senior achievers."
It makes me want to walk up
to people and say
'Did you know....?'
I found this book to be informative
as well as delightful -- a good gift
for "juniors" and "seniors."
 My Dad will be getting a copy
for Father's Day!"
