Absolutely! (Paperback)

,
Absolutely chronicles the quirky life of Dr. Harry Briggs, WWII Marine, the first person to swim the 32 miles across Lake Erie, persistent entrepreneur, and, at 90 years old, still a political science professor. About this amazingly candid tale, John Muenzer, Marathon Swimmer, says: "I laughed and cried as I read his story. Harry's journey starts with his rambunctious years in his mid 20's to the Pacific Theater, Swimming Hall of Fame, numerous businesses, educator and loving husband. No matter what obstacles Dr. Briggs faced, he willed himself to never accept failure. Truly a unique individual and one that's accomplished a great deal in his lifetime!" Frank Cox, Marine veteran and award-winning author says, "Letitia Sweitzer has skillfully captured the dramatic life saga of her uncle, Harry Briggs, an athlete and an intellectual, who has packed three lifetimes of adventure into his 90 years. Absolutely! is an inspiring, thoroughly enjoyable, story about the can-do spirit of an American hero."
