Beginning with his growing up in Cranston, attending public schools and being kicked out of the Boy Scouts for embezzlement (The Wallet) and then spreading to Boston, Manhattan, Philadelphia and Detriot as he encounters people like Red Auerbach, Bill Russell, Sam Jones, KC Jones, Dave Gavitt, Lee Iacocca, Katherine Hepburn, Frank Sinatra, Morley Safer and George Plimpton plus many Rhode Island luminaries.

"At age ninety, Ken Dooley, noted Rhode Island Heritage Hall of Fame playwright, author, publisher, political consultant, and raconteur decided, with a nudge from his admirers, to compose a series of brief essays recounting his varied life experiences. His observations, based on first-hand involvement, bear the appropriate title Dooley Noted. His insightful recollections are notable indeed! During his long and eventful career, Ken has encountered the famous and infamous, the literati, scholars, athletes, politic-cians, clergy, the military, and those who led an ordinary life, except for an extraordinary encounter with Mr. Dooley."

The definition of an autobiography is simple: it is a history of a person’s life told by that person. I have always believed that autobiographies should be written by people who have made major contributions in medicine, history, music, politics, writing, theater, or industry. Anyone who profits from the experiences of others writers biographies, not autobiographies - and no one has benefited more from the people I met than I did, as you will see in this book. Perhaps then we can call this book an autobiographical tribute to the interesting people and events that shaped my life.
