Growing up in Michigan in the 1950s, Cliff spent most of his time learning about the outdoors through his hunting and fishing. He and his life-long friend Harry, spent hours along the rivers and in the woods cooking up all sorts of outrageous exploits.
Cliff moved west to Colorado in the 1970s. His adventures continued. He met new friends and developed a passion for rugby football. But his passion for good times, intensely funny escapades, and tall tales continued. They will leave you shaking with laughter.
Cliff’s Sid Siwalsky and the Pope story is one of the funniest things you will ever read.
