Okay, let's try it again

the long version

"Each of raconteur Willem Lange's new stories features an unusual individual he has encountered at some point in his variegated life: George Lamb, the best pancake chef ever; Jay Lewis, the "ugliest-acting man I've ever known"; Mrs. Sandwick, the sixth-grade teacher "who taught us far more than we thought we could handle"; Mary O, the cleaning lady whose well-meant efforts invariably led to "demolishing our home and peace of mind"; and Doc, the apparently inept, but kindly scoutmaster, who met every disappointment with an enthusiastic, "Okay, let's try it again.""--BOOK JACKET.
