Development Pitch
This is a story that I heard from the time I was 5 years old to present of 67 years old...but the story has never been told due to all that happened...my own father told me before he died...that if I was to write this story...wait until all that could be really bothered buy it...be dead...I honored that request... This story will sell it's self...just read it... Don Pennington
