“That’s Outrageous” is a selection of bi-monthly columns originally published over eight years in the Petoskey News-Review, which has generously consented to allowing me to print them in book form as a way of making them available to you. In an advance endorsement, Emmy Award-winning documentary film maker David Crouse commented that these highly personal commentaries are of a type rarely written these days and will be treasured by future historians seeking a glimpse into the life of our times. I am humbled by such high praise from a master journalist, and may I suggest it provides good reason for you to look further into this Web site, with audio and visual flourishes skillfully put together by Webmaster Jeremiah Prentice. Enjoy!
