What my book is about is my unusual dating experiences before marriage. Though not funny at the time, looking back, they are pretty funny and, I dare say, unusual. Because of this, I felt it would be a shame to let these unusual and funny stories just vanish. My hope is I can bring a smile or two. Some stories you may think, no way this ever happened, or at least not all these stories. My book may also be seen as a "don't let this happen to you." This book is not meant to be meant as a revenge hit piece, to get even with anyone, ridicule, or make fun of anyone. Other than me, possibly. Human nature is what it is, and people are human. This is the reason for this title, The Names Have Been Changed to Protect the Guilty. The name of the book was taken and modified from the beginning of the 1960s TV series Dragnet, only I changed, "The names have been changed to protect the innocent." In keeping with the humorous side, I changed innocent to guilty. It is meant as a light, warm-hearted look at my highly unusual but 100 percent true experiences. It is a collection of short stories and a quick read.
