About this ebook

WALLACE is a trilogy: WAR, WEST, and WEALTH. Each section portrays a modest and inconspicuous protagonist thrust into an immodest and consuming mix of war, frontier survival, and personal accomplishment that stretch values to the breaking point.

Rev. Dr. Weagley served the United States Naval Reserve Military as a Chaplain, and actively in the U S. Army Security Agency as an enlisted man. He managed a chain finance office and later worked as a bookkeeper for a trucking company while obtaining multiple college degrees. He served as an ordained Evangelical Lutheran minister, and subsequently obtained his doctorate degree while working as deployed staff for a Synod Bishop. Fifty-three years of marriage blessed the union with four children who granted additional gifts of thirteen grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

In 2007, Dr. Weagley went to war with Guillain-Barre Syndrome, a paralyzing virus that required a shift in emphasis mode from stand-up preacher to sit-down author.

Wallace is a fictional characterization that is rooted in truths strung together in reality conundrums. As if in search of justice, truth streams through time, unrestrained, unlimited, and unrestricted.

Ronald Lee Weagley

The sanctity of truth frequently evades when the flame fades to the darkness as if bowing to the will-o'-the-wisp corpse torch, a ghostly light term for a fantasy phantom sometimes seen at night or at twilight over bogs, swamps, and marshes. During his life, the Reverend Doctor Ronald Lee Weagley donned many titles, not only son, grandson, nephew, boy, Ronnie, Private, Specialist, Lieutenant, Captain, Padre, Mister, Pastor, father, husband, Assistant to the Bishop, and “hey-you,” but also a few of the more colorful adjectives unprintable at this writing,. He lays claim to all and to none of the aforementioned, preferring additional more tranquil options: lover, husband, soul mate, dad, or friend. Our egos know our lists. Occasionally remorse delivers a taint tart’s bite of lemon for our palate as we wish we were more deserving of the privilege titles flashing in ones recall; but we are often know for what we do and not who we are actually. Dr. Weagley was born Ronnie for some reason known only to his departed mother and father. His maternal grandfather Roy Franklin Hahn, who read the bible regularly, prayed incessantly, and invoked the deity at random, occasionally as a blessing and occasionally in wrath, contributed significantly to Dr. Weagley’s value system until later in life when congruity touched him in a religious environment. A tour in Africa with the United States Army Security Agency as an enlisted Morse code operator /Traffic Analyst trailed with a business career as branch manager with a national loan company and over ten years in the United States Navy Reserve as a Chaplain. In addition, several years as a trucking company president’s staff member coupled with two academic degrees, two professional degrees and a myriad of continuing education experiences in homiletics, organization development, business management, pastoral ministry, and related areas, served him well in his vocation. Each contributed as if a straw in the flame of the wisp tale that declares light in darkness. Dr. Weagley and his wife of fifty-three years, with four children, thirteen grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren, retired to retreat to a slower pace in service. Illness struck, pointing a new path. The paralytic virus Guillain-Barre Syndrome morphed his mode of operation from a stand-up robed preacher into a seated keyboard author telling tales, spinning yarns, and pontificating lucidly. His favorite phrase, “Seek and you shall find,” best captures as well as elaborates his life and his dreams while his sermons, services, and sincerity scream from the pages of his creative fiction works, rooted in reality, SEASCAPE, TRIBE ARPEGGIOS, WALLACE, JED, and JIM.
