WHAT COLOR IS YOUR PARACHUTE?

A Practical Manual for Job-Hunters and Career-Changers

2012

The wonderful actress Anne Bancroft (1931–2005) was once loosely quoted as saying about her husband, Mel Brooks,

My heart flutters whenever I hear his key turning in the door, and I think to myself, Oh goody, the party is about to begin.

That is exactly how I feel about my wife, Marci Garcia Mendoza Bolles, God’s angel from the Philippines, whom I fell deeply in love with, and married on August 22, 2004.

What an enchanted marriage this is!
