Reviews

Conscientious humans seek to learn from the wisdom of those who lived before us. Morrie Markoff has learned a lot during his century plus on this planet, and has lived through eras that remain ever relevant, given what is going on in the world today. Morrie Markoff’s book is full of wonderful life lessons and information on eras that few alive today remember. And he writes with humility, humor, and wit. A couple times, an anecdote had me laughing out loud, and I still smile thinking of his stories. A magnificent read from a man who continues to lead a wonderful life.

State Assemblyman Mike Gatto (ret.), March 2022
