Unique People I Have Known

This is a book of character descriptions - not fictional characters, but real life characters. The author has led a long and somewhat unusual life. This book consists of a series of short descriptions of some of the unique and interesting people that he has known. These people were not celebrities, but were unusual and not ordinary individuals. He personally knew and associated with each of them in real life.
Sometimes fact is stranger than fiction. Some were men and some were women; some were old and some were young; but they were all interesting and different from the typical people we see in everyday life.
