He describes his younger self as a classic second stringer: \"I was too slow and too short for basketball; I was too small for football, a little too chicken to hang in there against the best fastballs. So, by my senior year the only sport I was still playing was golf.\" He was a teacher for many years in the Seattle area, where he now lives with his wife. carldeuker.ag sites.net\/bio.htm \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Carl Deuker \/ Paperback \/ English","offer_id":47645045162141,"sku":"9780618735051","price":31.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_3590ccd7-bedf-4637-bbc8-1f4b6edd566b.jpg?v=1770750301","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/runner-9780618735051","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
