About this ebook

Oliver Bishop presents a lighthearted romp through 80 plus years in the life of a son of the soil, from the gritty depression years to the present, to include the bucolic farm and ranch years, the competitive military years, to include a tour of Missile Combat Crew Commander.
Then to the demanding City Manager years, the political State official years, and his serene retirement years. The book is rife with little vignettes that flavor a life. As he says, "It covers many fields: corn fields, wheat fields, and hay fields."

Author

Oliver R. Bishop

I have an undergraduate degree in Public Administration (cum laude), a graduate degree in Economics (magna cum laude). I have many years of administrative positions to include City Manager, State Revenue and Fiscal Advisor, commissioned officer in the military, and as a consultant in land use planning, and assisted housing. I have always been comfortable about writing from the time I was in grade school when I wrote Science Fiction. I wrote several financial administration manuals while in State government and have continued to write short stories for my own amusement after I retired. My wife and I now live in a suburb of Chicago where we retired, and maintain an active life of travel and social bridge, as well as reading and surfing the 'Net.' Oliver R. Bishop
