| Plot Summary of Almost Flying |
|---|
"Almost flying takes a hilarious look at the zany sport of raising and racing pigeons from the slightly demented mind of Dick Williamson. The book covers Dick's life long relationship with the birds using the stories as a humorous metaphor to explain what he thinks is wrong with the world. He just may have a point."
Dick Williamson Phd, Resident Scholar
