Work of Phil Seligman

This is an hilarious review of the misadventures of a career Navy man and his forgetful wife.

Fun stories told with warmth, love, and a big helping of humor.

This collection of very personal vignettes is brought to life by a husband lived through every one of them. His wife has never ceased to surprise him with her unique, enjoyable (and forgetful) approach to life. Through it all, they manage to remain a wonderful and happy couple.

If you have experienced similar incidents in your own married life, their approach will give you a refreshing insight.

Publisher's Note:

We regret to report that Phil Seligman has past on since writing his book. He is survived by his wife, Bobbi Seligman, (who continues to support his book), and four sons. Bobbi is talented in many fields (her artistic murals have drawn much praise), and still maintains the humor and good spirit about which Phil wrote so lovingly. The real-life incidents that occured spontaneously in Bobbi's life, continue unabated to the wonderment (and enjoyment) of all friends and family.
