Description

There is an adage the claims the quickest, easiest, and surest way to achieve notoriety and fortune is to be born rich, good looking, come from a linage of well-known people, and if your ancestors were politicians, your chances were even better. However, if you were born into a ranch workers family during the depression of the 1920s-30s with a shortage of the above attributes, life was apt to be interesting if not arduous. My story starts a short time before I was born on a Texas ranch during the depression of the 1920s-30s, and continues through growing up rurally in a caring family under conditions that were clean and comfortable but considered austere and primitive, even then, but we were not unique; there were many families in the same condition. Being in our situation was not necessarily bad; there was more opportunity for improvement than failure and any change was more apt to be positive. At a young age, when I became aware of our situation, I decided I would somehow improve my situation. During my endeavors to do so I tried many occupations that sometimes created dubious situations that could have been avoided, had I been better prepared. I tell of the trials, tribulations and successes of a country boy trying to get ahead and fit into a fast changing world, from ranch life to active participation in the expanding technology that followed the end of WWII, [i.e., from Red Chief/pencil to personal computers and "Star Wars"]. This was all done while keeping in touch with my country roots and spending time, when possible, hunting, fishing, and later working with wildlife management agencies as a volunteer/reservist. This book is not a how to do it tale, or an advice giving yarn. It is how I did it through hard knocks, bruises and a lot of luck. Anyone trying to duplicate my efforts would be advised to consider a more orthodox route in their undertakings.
