    About this ebook

    Like a wheat-weaving, this memoir weaves together many strands of interest
    a boy growing up on a Kansas farm during the Great American Depression,
    an adolescent experiencing school in a mid-western town during WW II,
    a midshipmans training in a Big Ten university, and
    a naval officers service during the Korean War,
    one persons spiritual journey leading to 40 years as a United Methodist pastor,
    the joys and struggles of both individual and family life as it bridges eight decades of social and technological change.
    This book will appeal to young historians as its globe-trotting author relates his life to historic moments which have intersected it.
