The Moose Is On The Loose

Some of the events in this book took place in the sixties and seventies. Some are humorous and some are gut wrenching and will stay with me until the day I die. I did want to share with you some of the memories that took place in a time that will never be again, and some of them may eventually be lost in time. But for those of you who choose to read about them you may find a little humor or a some nostalgia as you read through the pages.

Paget Newbury is a retired funeral director having served seventeen years in the funeral profession and back in the fifties, sixties and seventies it was truly a profession. After those seventeen years as a funeral director, I did a mid-life change and bought a one hundred and forty-year-old hardware business. I retired in 1995 and moved to a little town in upstate New York nestled in the foothills of the Adirondack mountains on the Great Sacandaga Lake. The peace and tranquility here is magnificent. So now I sit with my wife Faye on our dock as I have for the past fourteen years and enjoy gently sipping a martini and watch the sun set slowly in the west and remember those days over fifty years ago, What A Life!
