"True Jersey City Story"

About the Book

Over 14 years of writing letters to my son, all inspiratioanal and positive.  These words were used to guide him during tournaments, baseball and everyday life.  It is important to always remember, it's not just who wins but how you handle yourself in life.  When my son graduated from Seton Hall University in 2007, I presented this collection of letters with love and pride.  I only hope the message in these letters not only continues to help him but also assist other families to realize the importance of effective communication and positive reinforcement.
