IT'S TRUE: JUST TELL 'EM
READ RICHARD'S BOOK

So the folks back home don't believe your horror stories about driving on I-95?

You get a few chuckles when you spin your favorite yarns about shopping at our area malls?

Fear no more! Davie resident and Broward Community College English teacher Richard Grayson has published a book entitled "Eating at Arby's: The South Florida Stories." It puts into print those daily dilemmas only we South Floridians can truly appreciate.

Richard, known for his witty sarcasm and last March a hardly serious candidate for Davie's council, had received a $3,000 grant from the Florida Arts Council to produce a series of "documentary" stories on South Florida life.

"It's a pleasure to bring great literature to South Florida," he says. "I hope the taxpayers of Florida agree that the grant money I received was well spent."

You can be the judge of that if you care to part with $3 to buy the book.
