Description:

Writer Jay Kettering extracts snippets from his childhood with wit and humor as he ponders just who his dad is, and therefore just who he is. The monologue is delivered by Bernie O'Connor, a professional actor.

The content is appropriate for Father's Day, or anytime as a family piece. There's also a Halloween segment.

Jay Kettering lives in Missoula, Montana, with his wife and cat. He writes short stories and plays and is active in the local theater scene. Jay's writing career has been uncorrupted by money or power but he looks forward to becoming a sell-out.
