The sharp hills of Northern Missouri take on a bright look as the sun chases away the mist of early morning. It is a memory which lingers with you. The last glaciers that covered much of the Midwest must have split and missed leveling off my area of the world. The brush covered ridges and gullies were adequate for pasture on our farm but had limited crop potential. They made a wonderful place for a young boy to hunt, fish, and just wander.I am the product, or perhaps a better description, would be the beneficiary of a strong family history. I used to lie on a grassy hillside and daydream of what the rest of the world was like. My desire to see the world started early. My wife and I have been fortunate to be able to fulfill most of our dreams.You will be able to trace my life from a shy country boy to a comfortable exciting retirement. After leaving the farm I am sure the feelings I had in the city are similar to what someone feels after immigrating to a foreign land. I tried many different approaches and as happens in most instances - it gradually worked. Of course, I had a lot of help along the way. My hope will be that as you who read this you will find the pursuit of success and my interpretation of the world as interesting as I found it challenging and exciting to write. Enjoy.
