For years Martin Seelye has been encouraged by so many ….”with all your adventures, escapades, business ventures, trials and tribulations….YOU SHOULD WRITE A BOOK’’!
And now…happily…Martin has done so.
Reading “ME” you’ll find stories of local history, business ventures of all variety, personal adventures and misadventures and learn of the author’s ’’bucket list” on fascinating travel locations. You’ll discover the tale of a lost treasure cache of Indian head pennies still buried somewhere in Ft. Edward; the author’s woodworking as a hobby, then as a vocation; service in the U.S. Navy making salads and wooden widgets. Stories and adventures in auctioneering….. starting at the ripe old age of fifteen upon graduation from auctioneering school. Learn about the ‘quick sale’ of forty thousand pounds of sweet onions before they turned from ripe to ruin. Discover that the Seelye clan goes “way back” and many of those who are still around frequently gather together from far and wide to share their life stories.
This is a great personal memoir beautifully told….often funny, fascinatingly diverse and without a doubt a personal story of persistence over adversity.
Highly recommended.
