“What I Learned On The Way Down” is a book of stories and editorials written by Jac Flanders, skydiving pioneer, former personal assistant to Jerry Lewis, magazine publisher, and entertainment news anchor. Jac is the Emmy winning writer of the acclaimed “Desperate Passage” series of docu-dramas for Fox Television, syndicated worldwide from 1988 to 1994. The first part of the book recounts some of the author’s near-death escapades, including a miraculous three-thousand-foot fall into a freshly plowed field. He describes years spent on the road with Jerry Lewis in such intimate detail, you'll almost believe the memories are your own. Jac recalls meeting Robert Kennedy in the very spot where a week later the candidate for President was murdered. He remembers the incredible moment when Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin reunited, twenty years after their partnership ended. And he shares the fear and relief he experienced when his son was born.Jac delivers these sometimes funny, sometimes sad, and always heartwarming stories from an "everyman's" perspective. The stories are an unexpected treasure of Americana –from a childhood with tenant farmers in rural Delaware, to breakfasts with Presidents and touring the world with superstar Jerry Lewis. It is a compilation of personal anecdotes and philosophical musings from a decade ago, but as relevant today as the latest news.“What I Learned On The Way Down” was a featured book at 2002 Book Expo America, Javits Center, New York City. The eBook version contains updated material and commentary.
