About This Book
This is a personal memoir with the primary target audience being my children and grandchildren, plus interested others. The book has four sections. The first section is a chronological description of my life with significant details. The second section has more focused discussions of several major life activities, those being sports activities, political activity, medical mission trips, cooking activity including several family recipies, and a chapter on my family. The third section, entitles messages to take away, includes a chapter on my philosophy of life and how it arose, and a chapter on advice I am handing down. The last section contains several extensive lists, those being vacations taken, favorites in several categories (such as movies, TV, song, and food), a list of the best moments of my life, and a discussion of major life accomplishments. The back matter includes some humor, three educational chapters that I had written which were never published, and a bibliography.
