From the Cabbage Patch Dolls to the wilds of Alaska, Jerry Wayne Jodice lived the stories he wrote about throughout his career. This is a sampling of his work from some of his earliest published pieces to his last major magazine article. According to the editor of the Flagpole magazine, "Your use of detail makes this writing come alive; it's interesting and informative at the same time - very difficult to do. I enjoyed it and I think our readers will as well. Some people know how to write; you surely do." Others weren't so generous with their praise, but that's the thing about writing: You're going to piss off as many people as you entertain. Hopefully the articles collected here are mostly of the latter persuasion.
