Summary of Ted Turner & Bill Burke's Call Me Ted

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I was born in 1938, the first Turner born north of the Mason-Dixon line. I was showered with love from my parents and extended family. My earliest memories are of holding the screen door open for my great-grandmother on my mother’s side.

#2 I was a energetic child, and I spent much of my time in the backyard and at the creek that ran through a little vacant lot down the street. I turned over rocks to find little bugs and crayfish, and took them home to put in a jar. I was the center of my parents’ attention for nearly three years, before the birth of my sister Mary Jean.

#3 I had a difficult time adjusting to life in Cincinnati after the war. My father was a perfectionist, and I was often punished for doing things wrong. I didn’t like going to school, and spent most of my time outside playing with my friends.

#4 I had no way of knowing if my father was telling the truth when he said that the razor strap hurt him more than it did me, but I do know that he used it on me a lot. I had no way of knowing if he was telling the truth when he said that he loved me, but I do know that he was a very volatile man with a quick temper.
