Meet The Author

Meet The Author, Dennis F. Depcik, of the acclaimed biography "Wouldn't It Be Something" at: 

The Best Salon and Spa, 139 McHenry Rd., Buffalo Grove, IL on Saturday, March 29th, from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm.

Dennis and Maggie's story, which led to "Wouldn't It Be Something”, was featured on the front page of the Daily Herald on Valentine's Day. 

It's a true story of an improbable love that was born in letters from across an ocean between an Army Officer and this "insignificant kid" who became the most important person in his life. 

The letters, written 45 years ago, were discovered by the author in his wife's closet a month after she died - he never knew she kept them all these years. Rereading these letters set his heart ablaze all over again as he rediscovered the love of his life.
