Acording to the book, the 1st half of marley's life was spent in West Palm Beach and Boca Raton before the family moved to the Lehigh Valley where Grogan was a columnist for the Inquirer. He could have visited NY to find a publisher for the book, written after marley's passing. The story does continue post marley as he talks about writting the book which became a surprise bestseller and changed their lives by making Grogen financially independent. BTW for those who haven't read it......the book is a masterpiece, very moving and yet hystericly funny. No movie could possibly do it justice.
