With his son Joseph as co-author, Bockol writes about the "legendary" ups and downs in the life of the former developer and Philadelphia Eagles football team owner.
Bockol, an attorney in Philadelphia, has co-authored Jerry Wolman: The World's Richest Man with his son Joseph, a writer. About their rags-to-riches subject, Bockol says:“Jerry soared to fame by purchasing the Eagles franchise in Philadelphia after having attained a meteoric rise in the development and construction business in Washington, D.C. He owned Connie Mack Stadium, purchased the Flyers [hockey team] and built the Spectrum. He also developed the John Hancock Center in Chicago. His ups and downs are legendary and, at 83, he tells quite a scintillating, heart-warming story.” To find out more about the book, or to buy a specially signed edition go to www.JerryWolman.com
