When Bobby Was Bob

She had moved to a small town in Tennessee. After two years of college she went to New York City to attend Parsons School of Fashion Design. Shortly thereafter she became a Powers Model and met Bob Kennedy - not Bobby - but the real Robert F. Kennedy who was turning 19. He fell for her - she fell for him and the city. She met his mother Rose; sisters Pat and Jean; father Joseph P.; an uncle; grandparents; and even Clark Gable. It was a different life than she had ever known. The courtship ended when she discovered Bob was two years younger only to be rekindled three months later. On the night of their last date she was rushed to New York Hospital and died there ten days later from a cerebral hemorrhage on New Year's Eve, December 31, 1945. Reve Riley had made it as a model. Her pictures would continue to be in Vogue and Glamour magazines for the next three months. A few days after her death Bob left Harvard to serve aboard the naval destroyer named after his brother who had been killed during a dangerous mission. THIS IS A TRUE LOVE STORY ... not Fiction!

A memoir written by brother Bob Zappa of rock musician Frank Zappa, describing period in their lives from the 1950s until 1967. Information covered in this book has never been told before.

In 1998, at the very moment that a publisher had approached Bruce Davidson about a book of his 1959 Brooklyn Gang photographs, former gang leader Bobby Powers unexpectedly telephoned the Davidsons. Over the next decade, Emily Davidson maintained an ongoing conversation with Powers in order to bring to light his struggle to overcome his drug-ridden and violent past and to inspire others with his example. Through the words and reflections of the former drug addict and petty criminal, this book relates the long, agonizing journey from youthful urban violence and despair to the life of a committed and generous professional. Beginning in a working-class Brooklyn neighborhood in the mid 1950s where alcohol abuse and poverty were rampant, Bobby Powers went from being an illiterate gang leader and notorious drug dealer to a destroyed individual who had lost everything, including family members, close friends, and himself, all presented in his own words and in grim detail in this book. At a critical turning point in his life, recognizing the threat of his behaviors to survival, he entered detox and embarked on the arduous path to recovery and self-understanding. This process involved not only acknowledging and coming to terms with the injuries he had inflicted on his children and others, but also asking for their forgiveness. Having achieved a new way of life as a responsible and caring adult, Bobby Powers is today, at 69, a nationally respected drug addiction counselor who has aided a wide spectrum of people, including former gang members. His story represents a brutal and inspiring lesson in human frailty, degradation, and transformation.
