Book Synopsis
Bob Gibbons grew up on the "bird streets" of Rochester, New York, and took a trainee job at Kodak--just until he could figure out what he really wanted to do. What he found was he had a talent for writing, which led him to write speeches for corporate CEOs and scripts for movies, win a short story writing contest, become a movie reviewer, work with Disney Imagineers on EPCOT, and spend more than a decade in Hollywood, attending the Oscars and movie premieres. And now, he has stories to tell. Filled with humor, humanity, and people who've made a difference along the way, this is Bob's memoir of the adventures he's had since those days on Oriole Street.
