The writings of the Kindly Gent are not intended to be boastful but if you're telling the truth you are not bragging. It is with sincere hopes and wishes that the lessons learned by the school of hard knocks by the Gent can be passed on without others having to repeat them. Thanks in advance for reading this. Sincerely, Kindly Gent This book was written by Todd Hildreth, an odd and funny man, an honest man who loved his family and was good to them, it is also a tribute to my father's memory. every word in this book is from his own hand writings, I hope you enjoy reading it, thanks His daughter Diana Hildreth.
