In his memoir he has related many of the life experiences that formed the basis for the values by which he has lived. Many of these events will have the reader recalling similar events in his/her life. Bob was successful in areas that included family, academia, politics, and friendships. Even though he experienced political defeats and divorce his faith carried him through. Bob should be applauded for writing this book to inform his children and relatives about their family history. I would encourage prospective readers to read this memoir, as I believe you will find his story entertaining, informative, and uplifting.
