Growing up during the time of the Happy Days television show, I, like everyone else, thought Foonzie was the hero of us all. He was smart but acted liked a hoodlum. I remember him growing mellow and nicer as the show went on. I'm sure that this book will be the same. Having an impression on who he really was and where he came from became to change as soon as I started reading the excerpt. Sounds like a terrific autobiography of a person we all felt was a part of our life.
