The Scalawag is Jerry Fisher’s story about a life that has taught him a thing or two, or three... Born in poverty before the Great Depression, 90-year-old Jerry Fisher recalls his life in remarkable detail that includes his courageous mother who was fierce about her children’s welfare but tragically silent about her own life-threatening illness, and a long-held, painful family secret revealed to him when he was twelve. With Ruth, his beloved wife of 61 years, at his side, Jerry—Merchant Marine, chef, restaurateur, son, brother, friend, husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather—made his own way, through hard times, good times, failures, and successes. He includes photos spanning four generations and tells the story of his life the way he lived it—honestly and straight up.
