My First 80 Years : Live to Learn, Learn to Love, Used [Paperback]

It is not fashionable today to speak or write of such things as honor, duty, and responsibility. The author lived his life in accordance with these principles, but at the same time he led an enormously enjoyable and rewarding life. He worked hard and he played hard, and it was all great fun. His unusually quick mind, sharpened by an engineering and a legal education, enabled him to be successful at a variety of occupations, and he was in turn an author, a military officer, a design engineer, a teacher, a foreign affairs specialist, a negotiator, an aerospace executive, and a lawyer. His religious training was quite conventional, and he was a member of the Episcopal Church. From an early age he was curious about such questions as "What is life all about?" and "What happens to us when we die?" The answers offered by the Episcopal Church and the other mainstream churches seemed illogical and raised still more questions, but he was too busy to investigate the matter. Finally, a friend introduced him to a book about the psychic Edgar Cayce, and that book and others that he read provided some surprising and convincing answers. The book begins with the author's earliest thoughts and ends in Thailand with the celebration of the millenium. In between it tells of an enjoyable and varied life lived in interesting times. It is a true account of the author's experiences, his thoughts, and the people that he encountered along the way.
