Book Description
On the eve of his 100th birthday, Dr. Mavis P. Kelsey shares a generous collection of sayings from his homeland. What began as an enjoyable hobby and led to a limited edition book has now been expanded to include thousands more folk sayings. Many of the expressions here are as old as language itself. Some have their origin in ancient Sumerian and Sanskrit. Others come from Chinese and African tongues, as well as Hebrew, Greek, and Latin. Wherever they originated, they bear the wisdom of the ancients, and they have been used in vernacular speech in Texas during the last century. Some are light-hearted, while others convey deep emotion"joy, sorrow, life, death, and human frailty. Born before sound movies, phonography, or rapid transportation became popular, Dr. Kelsey reminds us that language has the lasting power to both define and delight us. The more things change, the more we coin colorful phrases to describe our experiences.

Book Description
The independent reviews of the book are all good or excellent so far since Jan 14 to June 18, 2009. The readers and reviewers really liked it a lot. The first 40 pages are stories about my life growing to manhood. It was a very exciting one and written in a fun way. Then I tell about my experiences with politics, service, Abbie Hoffman and the civic groups, James Hoffa, plus a myriad of others who you probably heard of yourself. Every word in this book is true and I have over 2,000 newspaper clippings and pictures to back that up. Even the Second world war was written up less in the local papers and including the Phila. Inquirer and New York Times papers. The clippings are mostly from the mid 1970's and 1980's, when I was leading Bucks and Montgomery Counties in Pa. to develop a safer system of Public Drinking Water than the contaminated water we were getting from Philadelphia. This became a very controversial project with 100's of protestors at the pump site daily for over 10 years. Politicians pro and con became involved and many people went to jail. You will learn important info about your own water no matter where you live in this nation. Are we dying off younger because of our water? I think so! The book is interesting and enjoyable to read and you will learn a lot that you didn't know. This is enjoyable reading at its best.
