This is Song-nai Rhee's personal memoirs of an eighty-seven-year-long life between a pine grove of Songki-riin, Korea and the bank of the Siuslaw River on the West Coast, covering his early life during World War II, his existential crisis during the Korean War, his life transformation from Confucian to Christian, coming to America and Northwest Christian College, his formal education in America (resulting in two bachelors, four masters, and two PhD degrees), thirty-seven years of professional service at NCC (now Bushnell University) as a professor of history, Bible, and archaeology, as well as academic vice president/dean, and as a father, grandfather, and writer/publisher, retiring as a farmer/fisherman on the bank of the Siuslaw River. Most of all, this book is about the people, beginning with Bill Peterson in a war zone, who helped make all this and Rhee's life possible--the meaningful connections.
