Once upon a time, being an old-fashion manly man had a lot to do with
simple, old fashion values. A manly man doesn't expect recognition-he
does what he does because it is the right thing to do.

It makes me wonder if I am doing my son an injustice by only teaching him to have good manners. If someone drops something pick it up, help a lady take off her coat, say excuse me if you bump into someone, and eventually open a girls car door for her.
Besides being a gentlemen who stands when a women leaves the room (which isn't done by any gentleman anymore, this only happened to me once as a teenager and it was a table of older men who worked for my uncle), should we be teaching our boys how to be brave, courageous, honorable and to stand by their friends whatever the circumstances?
The heroes of yesterday are a dying breed.
This book is a great gift for anyone who loves to read.
