C-1 and the Chicago Mob
This book was written as a tribute to all the agents who were assigned to Criminal Squad #1, more commonly referred to as the C-1 Squad, of the Chicago Division of the FBI from 1957 to 1976, a period of nineteen years. These agents were pioneers, who were required to wage war against one of the most powerfully entrenched organized crime organizations in the country since the days of Al Capone. It was at a time when the FBI did not have all the tools or legislation necessary to combat organized crime but they accomplished their goals aggressively with whatever means were available. This is a story of the unique challenges confronting these dedicated agents and the incomparable results achieved which resulted in severely disrupting and curtailing the activities of the Chicago mob. Mr. Inserra also chronicles parts of his career prior to and following his FBI experiences.

Aunt Tabby’s House
Dad, who came home from Vietnam before his children were born, never talks about that war. But why does Dad tell—or order—Aunt Tabby to be careful what stories she tells, and why is he upset when she gives the children “special names?” Why does he avoid Aunt Tabby’s house? It’s Mom who agrees to let Jeremy and Katrina fly home with Aunt Tabby. It’s Aunt Tabby’s story about Dad’s childhood that includes a boy with no name until a computer repairman inquires about Dad’s cousin Alvin who is MIA in Vietnam.

Who Was Who on TV
The information herein was accumulated of fifty some odd years. The collection process started when TV first came out and continued until today. The books are in alphabetical order and cover shows from the 1940s to 2010. The author has added a brief explanation of each show and then listed all the characters, who played the roles and for the most part, the year or years the actor or actress played that role. Also included are most of the people who created the shows, the producers, directors, and the writers of the shows. These books are a great source of trivia information and for most of the older folk will bring back some very fond memories. I know a lot of times we think back and say, "Who was the guy that played such and such a role?" Enjoy!
