Soup's On - Meet the Author -Joseph Hugh Cody - A book About Me and Them

After almost 50 years in the field of human service Joseph Hugh Cody has written a memoir recalling his life and vocation. In his A BOOK ABOUT ME AND THEM, he tells about people that came into his life through the criminal courts of Massachusetts. Joe was a teacher, a social worker and criminal court probation offi-cer. In a maximum security unit for boys and a detention center for girls he encountered hate but also yearnings for compassion and love. We bring who we are to whatever skills we acquire in dealing with people. That is how he was welcomed into the lives and homes of so many.
