Forgetting those things: One Man's Continued Journey (Sequel to Worth the Room)
People, places, things and ideas make up this addition to my autobiography: Worth the Room: A Life of Survival and Service, iUniverse, 2005 and its sequel, “Are we there yet?” One Man’s Journey, iUniverse, 2007.
If the reader senses at any time throughout this book that I have an Achilles Heel, he would be correct. It is simply this—and I put it forth early on—that in spite of all my idealism regarding family life, I never maintained a sustained level of interest in my own family life, especially after my divorce. Hence, I was not what some of my children would call an ideal father. Yes, I was there for them during the early years, and on through their college educations—and after—but divorcement from their mother altered this irrevocably. This said I believe in the sanctity of marriage and the proper upbringing of children.
In this volume I pay tribute to those gentle people who helped shape my thoughts on life, both friends and family members—as well as those people whom I simply met along the Path of Life in random occurrences—Angels, if you will. Other pioneers find their way into this book by what they have done, and how they influenced me by their words and works, setting examples to which I could aspire.
Finally, one is known by the company he keeps. The people you meet within these pages are the “company” I have kept for many, many years. I invite you to meet them, to learn from them, and to be blessed by them as have I. You will also learn more about me—and you. I promise!
Enjoy this book!
