Donald J. Richardson Days of Thy Youth

Annotation

Bernard Frank is a member of an under represented population, someone who is not equipped to take advantage of the traditional way education has been presented in the United States. This does not mean he is unintelligent nor that he lacks insight. Living with his mother during the Great Depression, Bernard is forced to deal with the "others," as he calls them, and finds his best connection with a dog. As a golf caddy, Bernard witnesses an impressive golfer who could become world renowned. Bernard's story is not earth shaking, but it is one that ought to be told. Bernard possesses a great sense of dignity and self-worth.
