Autorenporträt
According to Forrest Gump, "life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get." That certainly us true of the aging process. The challenges that tarnish the silver lining of the Golden years can be daunting if not frightening. For help navigating the troubled waters of old age, author Jerry Norton's latest book is the answer. As a soon-to-be nonagenarian, Norton has walked the walk and describes the journey in his non-fiction work 89 and Counting...Am I Old Yet? The former aerospace engineer turned sports photojournalist spent most of his leisure life coaching young children in their sport of choice be it youth football and baseball, girls' softball, swimming, and wheelchair and Special Olympic tennis. An anthology of his poems capturing precious moments during a sports season are cherished by former players and their parents. Still he had time to write four other books: Mom, Can I Play Football--An Introspective View of the Game for Parents and Coaches (1999), Unintended Consequences--How Adults Took the Fun Out of Youth Sports (2016), Live a Lot Learn A Little--An Autobiographical Memoir (2019), and Why!--Born With a Purpose (2019)
