book advocates any behavior that is written about in this book. We see it as an instructional manual for living a happy life and also a partial biography of a truly remarkable man.
While Willie writes his own adventures, we edit them, sometimes heavily. We have removed any information that points to his true home city and placed him in Gary Indiana because we figure they need the fame. The places and people mentioned do not exist in Gary Indiana except by pure coincidence. We focus on leaving the writing in Willie's voice - he is the teacher after all - but we have cleaned up the writing a bit and chosen the stories that serve to accurately chronicle the two years since he began his court ordered anger management classes. What luck for us that those classes recommend keeping a journal!

How This Book Was Written -

Everything in italics is written by us, Willie's two loyal nephews. Sometimes this is useful to explain the situation Willie found himself in, while in other cases we have used these interjections to point out the consequences that he dealt with because of his behavior. If it is not an illustration or in italics, the words are from the man himself, though as we have noted there has been some minor editing for clarity and spelling.
