Editorial Reviews

What a read! Chuck Gormley has created an incredible Flyers anthology and even as a former Flyer I was blown away. I couldn't put the book down

Bill Clement

Chuck has been through all of the highs and lows with us and his knowledge and experience makes this a heck of a book to read. It's a beautiful thing!

Fortunately for me, I was able to live some of these special�and sometimes not so special - moments. Now I have the ability to re-live so many special and memorable moments over and over again. Thanks, Chuck
