Author Biography
The author of this book was a poor farm boy who did not like school or studying until after he got out and spent two years in the army and then he was interested in learning. He attended a Technical School and studied electronics which helped him to get a job in a Paper Mill as a Maintenance Instrument Supervisor. He attended many schools and study programs that helped him to improve his knowledge of writing. He retired from the mill after 37 plus years. While talking to his grand children they did not understand or believe some of the things he would tell them that happened to him in the early years. This is why he took interest in writing this book for them that they would understand life then and also have a record to show their families in the later years. He never dreamed that he would be able to take a project such as writing a book. It proved that if you have faith in God that nothing is impossible if you set your mind to it. He always tried different things as you will see in the book but this was the biggest endeavor that he had taken in his entire life. It is an accomplishment that he will never forget as long as he lives.
