That Was Then is a memoir by Bob Turner, a former television executive and U.S. Congressman. In the book, Turner reflects on his life and career and shares the lessons he has learned along the way. The book begins with Turner writing about his childhood and youth in Queens, New York. He describes growing up in a working-class family and the challenges and opportunities he faced.

Turner then writes about his career in the television industry. He describes his work as a producer and executive at various networks and production companies. He also shares his insights into the world of television and the changes he has seen over the years. Turner also writes about his experience as a U.S. Congressman. He describes the challenges and rewards of serving in Congress, and the lessons he learned about government and politics.

Throughout the book, Turner shares his personal stories and reflections. He writes about his family, his friends, and his colleagues. He also writes about his faith and the values that have guided him throughout his life. That Was Then is a well-written and engaging memoir. Turner is a gifted storyteller, and his book is full of insights and humor. The book is also a good read for anyone who is interested in learning more about the television industry or American politics.

I like this book because I learned the importance of hard work and perseverance. I realized that I had to put in work every day, regardless of how I felt. I also learned the value of family and friends. They are important and will be there in your darkest moments. The importance of giving back to the community was also highlighted by the author.

Turner's book is a reminder that life is a journey, and that we can all learn from our experiences. It is also a reminder that we are all connected, and that we have a responsibility to make the world a better place. I found nothing negative about the book while I read it. There were no grammatical errors, showing it was well-edited. I give this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars. It was well-written. I recommend this book to those in the twilight of their careers. They should look at it as a new beginning and not as the end.
