| It is a spicy, humorous, well
written, autobiographical novel about life in the 20th
century. One hundred and sixty pages of print and pictures
depict the experiences of the author, personified as Jim
Hanson.
During WWII Jim was shipped to
Australia as the Sergeant Major of a tank destroyer
battalion. He attended officer's candidate school in
Australia and graduated as a Second Lieutenant. His first
assignment was terminated rather unceremoniously, but he
enjoyed success and promotion during his second one. After
five years of service, three of which were spent overseas,
he was released to the army reserves.
Life with his wife and their adopted daughter, plus numerous
assignments as an industrial chemist, was followed by
retirement. The deaths of his wife and daughter. Loneliness
and boredom led him to become a Real Estate salesman. That
helped him and his second wife select their future home and
he acquired two wonderful stepsons as a result of their
marriage. Unfortunately his wife developed bone cancer,
after a few years, and died painfully.
After Jim's second marriage, he dated fifteen widows and
finally met one who loved dancing. They had many happy
experiences together. But property taxes and inflation
created serious financial problems, so Jim arranged to share
his home with two immigrant women.
Jim
believes that finances are only important to the extent that
they enable a person to be happy, healthy and safe. Courses
in success motivation, problem solving and decision making
helped him greatly during the year that he was a
superintendent of production. He believes that more serious
study should be given to motivation and demotivation. |
