BIG RUSS AND ME: FATHER AND SON

Description:

Tim Russert's Big Russ & Me - a huge national bestseller - casts a fond look back to the 1950s Buffalo neighborhood of Russert's youth and recalls the extraordinary example of his father - a WWII veteran who worked two jobs without complaint for thirty years and taught his children to appreciate the values of self-discipline, of respect, of loyalty to friends. Russert gives us reason to laugh, cry, and identify with the lessons of life taught by the indomitable Big Russ.
