A retired Vernon doctor’s life story will be featured at the world’s largest trade fair for books.

Choice and Chance is the memoir of Dr. Nicholas Rety, and it will be among the exhibits at the 2023 Frankfurt Book Fair Oct. 18-22 in Frankfurt, Germany.

“If the book takes off (at Frankfurt), so much the better,” said Rety, a former urologist, now almost 93, and still living in Vernon.
