author:  Edward Bergin 
description: ". . . a light, humorous approach to a serious subject we all must face. Ed shows that even in the gravest of situations, humor can be found." -- <i>Christopher J. Dodd, US Senator from Connecticut</i><br /><br />"Edward Bergin has a good, quick sense of humor and he can write." -- <i>John Daley, Republican-American</i><br /><br />"That is a great book . . ." -- <i>John G. Rowland, Governor of Connecticut</i><br /><br />"What is going to happen to us when we die, if these anecdotes are any indication, will be pretty damn funny . . . After a couple of readings, I arrived at the opinion that the book should be on the required reading list of every college in the country. It should be the subject of graduate dissertations. Edward Bergin should be on 'Nightline'." -- <i>Alistair Highet, Litchfield County Times</i><br /><br />"Yes, there is humor and human nature aplenty in this book . . ." -- <i>Richard Tambling, The Journal Inquirer</i>
