Io Sono Augustus

Io Sono Augustus: I Am Augustus was
conceived initially as a solution to the age-old problem of
explaining events to the children when inquiries were made
about the family history. Hence, the chronological layout is
included in the book. It then became an exhilarating
expression of not only citing personal history but an
effective means of the author telling his children how he
felt about certain things. Interestingly, he became a
"passenger" on the vehicle he had invented and he enjoyed
the ride immensely! This written accomplishment is a gift to
his wife, Ann, and all of his precious children. May the
answers to all of their questions be found within its pages.

Augustus Louis Petti was born on a ship sailing
from his native Italy to the United States. He was named
Augustus after the ship. He was mistaken for the Lindbergh
baby. What else could happen to this man? Nothing
spectacular happened, mind you, but, enough to make you sit
up and wonder. His life was ordinary, and yet, it became
quite extraordinary. Adding up all the bits of his life
projected an image of greater proportion than expected. He
is grateful to his Lord for a life of happiness and
contentment. Amen.
