    About this ebook

    This is my second book as a true story of my son, and it is called Joey. My first book was called The Silent Years, and it was the story of my daughter, Lynn Ann Leo. My husband, Joseph Pooky Leo, and I were married in the 1950s. We were young and had to learn many things. I was homesick for my parents in New Jersey. We lived in Pennsylvania for over fifty years and then moved back to New Jersey to catch many fish.

    I was accepted at several colleges and was almost ready to attend Indiana University. All this changed when I met my future husband. Joseph was a mushroom grower and worked seven days a week. He was old-fashioned, and since he had his own business, he liked to be in control of everything including me. I had different ideas, but I did obey. Kennett Square Pennsylvania is known as the mushroom capital of the world. All our friends were in the mushroom business, and we stayed friends even to this day.
