Remember Groucho Marx and his famous statement that "I must confess, I was born at a very early age?" Well, I must confess that my adventures of life began before I was born! This book is an autobiography that spans over 80 years, from Montana to Alaska, and points in between. I never thought when I was growing up in Montana that I would one day be mining for gold in Alaska. Or, meeting famous actors and actresses, such as Amanda Blake (Miss Kitty from Gunsmoke) and Ed Asner (Lou Grant on the Mary Tyler Moore Show). Yes, Life has treated me great. It was a lucky day for me (Rose) when I joined the Bloom family (and Bloomed!).
