About this ebook
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."
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
