About the Book

Marty on the Swilcan Bridge, June 24, 2014 Mr. Satisfactory is an autobiography and abridged history of the author and his extended family. It tells the author’s story of a life growing up in a large loving family from Indianapolis. The story begins with our family’s start in the early twentieth century, our parents’ high school days in the forties, growing up in a Catholic family with seven siblings in the fifties and sixties, and through current day as my generation embarks on our golden years. You will journey with the author, his family, and his friends through his twelve years of parochial education and all the shenanigans and mischief a boy and teen can get himself into. Come along with us on family trips and outings. You will enjoy a front-row seat at athletic events and achievements, holidays, weddings, funerals, and much more. Mr. Satisfactory pays tribute to the author’s family and friends. It is a book of real-life unforgettable stories and experiences. Marty exposes his inner thoughts, tells lifelong secrets, and confesses his faults and shortcomings. A strong work ethic, an abundance of common sense, a little bit of luck, and God’s help, turned twelve Satisfactory school years into an Excellent life. I hope you enjoy this book and begin to consider your own life’s story.

Marty and his wife, Ginger, of forty-one years are proud of their three children and enjoy the love and company of three grandchildren. To date, we have nineteen nieces and nephews and fifteen great-nieces and great-nephews. Marty likes a variety of sports, particularly golf and hockey.
