The book was written to give children and grandchildren an account of the life of their father/grandfather. It is divided into four parts that chronologically follow the author's life. Part One; The Early Years, dwells on recollections of events and stories surrounding parents, brothers, other relatives and friends in different locales from California to Hawaii to Texas. Scouting, selling encyclopedias, the Marines, going to college and Peace Corps were all very formative in this period. Part Two; Establishing a Career and Part Three; Working in Brazil, the U. S. and Other Countries, provide particular and often unique stories of living and working in Malaysia, Brazil, Bolivia, Iran, Poland, Uganda, Texas, Maryland and Nevada. Part Four; Uganda and Retirement, deals primarily with the last ten years since leaving Nevada including vacations, political views, staying healthy and miscellaneous remarks from an old guy and closing with some predictions about what the future may hold.
