* LARGE PRINT EDITION * Does your retirement plan include travel? Let Lynn and Larry Michelsohn help you enjoy a relaxed, fun-filled summer in Europe. Their lighthearted retirement travel guide shows you how to . . . Choose countries that sound interesting-places you've always wanted to visit. Travel by ship, plane, train, bus, tram, taxi-no driving on the wrong side of the road required. Settle into a European city for a week or a month. Get to know the place and its people better than is possible on a whirlwind tour. String together a few month-long stays in different cities. Why not? You're retired. Your time is your own. Stay in rented apartments-so easy to arrange using the Internet. Cook for yourself-and sample as much or as little of the "native cuisine" as you dare. Live like locals as far as is conveniently possible and as frugally as you need to. Look for sufficient adventure to spice things up-enough, but not too much-find whatever level of challenge suits you. Let SLOW TRAVEL-RETIRED AND LOVING IT! inspire you to plan your own Slow Travel adventure. Larry and Lynn say, "Slow Travel makes a summer in Europe easier and less expensive than you think. If we can do it, almost anyone can!" TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction to Slow Travel Chapter 1. Where in the World Is . . . ? (Choosing a destination) Chapter 2. An Arm and a Leg?

Larry Morrow is one of Cleveland's most popular celebrities. In this book he tells stories from a lifetime in radio--how he got into broadcasting, early days in Detroit, the exciting times at Cleveland's AM powerhouse WIXY 1260 in the 1960s and '70s, and his long on-air runs at WERE AM and WQAL FM. He tells about many interesting celebrities he interviewed and unusual promotions he was involved in. Morrow was named "Mr. Cleveland" by mayor George Voinovich for his decades of tireless effort promoting his adopted city, and he has been selected as master of ceremonies for most major Cleveland events in the past three decades, including Cleveland's bicentennial celebration. He is in great demand as a public speaker and a communications teacher.
From Death to Disney. Larry Watkin won the National Book Award in 1937 for his novel ON BORROWED TIME, about Death imprisoned in an apple tree. From there, after an adventurous stint in the US Navy, he joined the Disney studio, working alongside Walt Disney himself on live-action classics.
