Rob Fischer writes, "Having grown up in a semi-rural suburb of Minneapolis, Minnesota, I never viewed my childhood as unique or out-of-the-ordinary. But my wife-raised in Chicago-assures me otherwise. Largely because of her laughter and amazement over my childhood escapades and because of her prompting to do so, I've agreed to preserve these stories in Becoming Tarzan. I hope you find as much enjoyment in reading them as I did living them " If you're a Baby Boomer, you'll no doubt relate well with the author's fancifully true anecdotes from the 50s and 60s. If you were born sometime after that period, you'll love his stories, wishing that you too had experienced that less encumbered era. But no matter who you are, you'll find yourself feeling good, amused, perhaps aghast, and sometimes laughing aloud at Rob's whimsical story-telling style. Rob currently lives in Spokane Valley, Washington, with his wife, Linda. They enjoy their three married children and seven adorable grandchildren.
