Goodbye, Geraldine
16 Nov 2001
"Goodbye, Geraldine" is an human interest story showing the growth of a young boy into manhood in spite of obstacles during the post-depression/World War II era. Because I am well familiar with the area and most of the people of which the author writes, I can only verify that Robert J. Morgan has written about the times, the places, and the people exactly as they were. The story will bring tears to your eyes as well as chuckles and smiles to your face. It's a story of growth, honor, humility, faith, hope, and love. Above all it is the author's verification that all things are indeed possible in this great country of America. May I encourage all to read "Goodbye, Geraldine". You too will hope that Mr. Morgan plans to treat us to a second book.

A Very Entertaining Slice of Life
15 Nov 2001
When I was a young lad some of my most pleasant moments were those occasions when my father or one of my uncles would tell me tales of their 'boyhood'. My most enjoyable reading was about the exploits of Tom Sawyer, Huck Finn, Penrod and the various heroes of Horatio Alger. Robert J. Morgan's amusing autobiography, 'Goodbye, Geraldine' brought me the same mellow feelings experienced some 60 years ago. It is warmhearted without being overly sentimental. Some of the characters that touch the author's life seem worthy of being principal subjects in other books that I hope Mr. Morgan might write. 'Goodbye, Geraldine' is a very personal offering, written with honesty, humility and a generous sprinkle of humor. Its timing couldn't be better as so many of us seem to be re-evaluating what is important in our lives.

Goodbye Geraldine
14 Nov 2001
What an amazing book. It is one of those books that when you start reading you can't put it down. Your living life with the author as he takes you into what it was like growing up in Duluth in a family that was just a little different. At times I had tears of joy, other times tears of anger, and still other times, tears of sadness. I would say the book is a cross between "Angela's Ashes" and "Tuesdays With Morrie". Both books that I rate as some of the best I have ever read.
I think it is a must read for anyone who grew up in the 50's, 60's, or 70's with a brother(s) and or sister(s) right around the same age. You get an idea of just how simple life was for you and your sibling while at the same time, just how serious it was.
It was obvious to me that the author really put emotion into each page, and you could feel his emotions right with him as you read. It's the type of book that I did not want it to end. After reading it, there will be a number of people mentioned and described in the book that you will wish you had the opportunity to meet.
Excellent!!!
