Ashley's autobiography is full of art, photographs, and the poignant never-say-never tale of his rich life, a life that has always included drawing and painting. Even as a boy growing up during the Depression, he painted, finding cast off
objects to turn into books and kites and toy and art. Even as a solder in the segregated Army on the beaches of Normandy, he sketched, keeping charcoal crayons and paper in his gasmask to draw with during lulls.
