| Summary |
The remarkable, true story of an American man born in 1938 to parents of a most unlikely marriage, a man and woman from entirely different family backgrounds. The book chronicles the course of the author's life from before he was born through the Depression, war, childhood and high school years and into college. From there, the journey continues into his professional school, the Navy years, graduate school and a career as a professor and ultimately, his post-academic life, his retirement and beyond. It then describes his somewhat surprising academic re-birth that occurred well into his 70's. More than anything, the book stresses how a series of many, almost random or accidental factors we encounter in everyday life end up having such a profound impact on the direction a given life will take. -- Cover. |
