Description

Word Imperfect is as readable and absorbing a memoir as might be expected from someone who has earned his living from word-spinning since graduating from famous US university Notre Dame, the years there a gift from his uncle Lowell, a multi-millionaire pioneer of Central American aviation. David Yerex writes: "Thinking back the best part of 80 years, my memories are far from word perfect. However, Word Imperfect allows me to share some of them and remember the people who changed and enriched my life in many ways."
