It's a life full of twists, turns and rewards. And may never be repeated.Through Clairmont Presbyterian Church in Decatur, Georgia, I becameclose friends with Marion Fern and her husband Lewis. He began to tellme childhood stories: his several notable years caddying for Babe Ruth, hisromantic courtship with a beautiful print ad model and smart nurse, and hismultiple adventures in World War II as one of the nation's first paratroopers.For three years, he told me the stories and I wrote them down.This book is a compilation of those firsthand accounts from Lew. It spellsout what encounters along the way led him to be the man who he is, howhis faith played an integral role in the process, and the lessons that one couldlearn from his choices.Lew's life is one of intrigue, celebrity, and hard work.It's not often that you get to meet a true living hero, let alone write his lifestory. I did both and I'm honored. I hope that Babe Ruth, The Bride, The Battle: The Remarkable Story ofParatrooper Lewis P. Fern inspires you.Cyndi Todd
