His written works include many published poems and feature magazine articles. He has contributed to two national best selling books.

Hal just completed a 300-page commissioned private printing of a memoir about a distinguished American who –as a 15 year-old German Jew– escaped Hitler’s clutches by transatlantic ship to arrive unaccompanied with minimal English at New York Harbor.

Starting as a newspaper delivery boy, poultry farmer, and door-to-door salesman,  he rose to  US citizenship, became a decorated US soldier,  successful retail entrepreneur and realtor, and thrived in a sixty-year marriage to a Holocaust survivor.

His voluntary service to government earned him trusted positions as advisor to six different governors,  confidant to a US President, a Vice President, and scores of top level state and federal officials.
