Never Buy a Used Car at Night

All these stories have us seeing light at the end of the tunnel. The author's attempt at humor in most of these stories is a result of time and hindsight; they were not funny at the time, but were trials that needed to be won. Never Buy a Used Car at Night is an illustration of such a trial.

A struggling young family eating beans and pickle sandwiches makes a move to better their lives. The Yell is a deadly serious story with some great timing, a strong son, and divine intervention, for a happy conclusion. This collection reflects a lifetime of events, all of which are ninety percent true, with just ten percent of embellishment.

About the Author

Ellis (Buzz) Langlitz, Jr. was born in 1950 on a dairy farm in Orange County, New York. In 1952, he contracted polio, and as a four-year-old in 1954, he was hospitalized for a full year for surgery and rehab. The results of this disease left not an invalid, but a very determined child who would do just about everything any other child did, all the while wearing a full left leg brace (which he still wears to this day). His career started as a Histology Technician and eventually evolved into becoming supervisor of Anatomic Pathology. Married for more than fifty years to Janette, they have two sons and three grandchildren.
