Dear Amazon book lovers: Thanks for visiting my author page. Following is a little about Ted J. Bloom, MLS., MSEd., CPL., CKMI., besides the fact that at one point in my life I was living out of the back of a used, rusty Dodge Ram, washing my hair in 24-hour laundromats, wondering where my next meal was coming from 3000 miles away from home. This Ram had transmission linkage moved from the steering column to the floor by the gung-ho firefighter I bought it from for $400.00, so occasionally I had to pull over, crawl underneath and unjam the linkage. Eventually, a piston split, the engine seized and I had to rent a bicycle to get around until I earned enough to buy my next used car.
