Native Levittowner to Read From Published Memoirs

Levittown native John Clinton Gray is coming back to town to hold a reading and book signing for “Gift of Seeds.”

Gray, a 1965 graduate of Division Avenue High School, said he was invited by the Levittown Historical Society. He will host the event at the Historical Society museum, located on the lower level of the Levittown Memorial Education Center, on Friday, Sept. 13 at 7 p.m.   

The book is a collection of diverse stories which describe what it’s like to grow up in Levittown:

"With him, we survive swimming lessons and bullies, polio shots and pranks. We fall in and out of love, get back up, and find the real thing.

The essays are poignant, funny, insightful, real. Written in a voice as old as yesterday and as fresh as tomorrow, Gift of Seeds could be everyone’s memoir."

The book is available to purchase online at Amazon, where it has received five out of five stars from reviewers.
