Dick Summer

iUniverse, Oct 19, 2012 - Biography & Autobiography - 194 pages

In Staying Happy, Healthy and Hot, author and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame radio personality Dick Summer introduces us to his brand new Louie Louie Generation. Louie Louie Ladies and Lads dont look like the people in the beer commercials with their fancy abs and perky breasts any more. But like their theme song, they have an avalanche of attitude. Its a happy attitude. And as you know, being happy helps keep you healthy. And when youre healthy you tend to be hot.

Staying Happy, Healthy And Hot is a collection of true stories about Dick Summers life as a husband, a father, a grandfather, and just an every day guy. There are stories about his days as a national broadcasting personality, his career as a hypnotherapist and his passion for flying his airplane. But mostly it tells about his long, hot romance with his wife Barbara, or as he calls her, My Lady Wonder Wench.

With humor and candor, this memoir shows how one man refuses to allow all the candles on his birthday cake to set off any sprinkler system that could put out the fire in his love affair with life, and with his wife.
