However, at the age of 90 years old, he never started his book. Through a blend of recorded interviews, oral recollections, some of his writing, and emails his story was finally documented. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Adam is originally from South Central Grand Island, New York.
