Come Down From The Pole, Joey!
Description:
Have you ever dreamed of walking out into the back yard of your home and climbing into your little airplane and flying it into the skies? Lifting yourself out of a freshly cut alfalfa field on a cool morning just because you felt like doing it? Maybe going noplace, or maybe distant lands? Well, Joe's been dreaming those dreams since he's been old enough to dream.
Way before his name was Joe, or Mister Gottlieb, they called him Joey.
A candid, funny, sad, always fascinating autobiography about a Jewish boy who grew up in the tenements of Hell's Kitchen, spent time in an orphanage, and learned to live by his wits and his dream. He came to California to find the "gold just laying in the streets," and he did. The book chronicles his business success, his love of flying, his love of two women and their lives together (the three of them), heartbreaking loss, guts, determination, and triumph, all told by a guy who "tawks" (and writes) funny. Completely outrageous.
