Random Thoughts Of An Old Man
Overview
A whimsical look back at a mans life. It includes growing up in the 40s in Colorado, Texas, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Puerto Rico. (An Army brat.) Being a teenager in Texas, Pennsylvania and New Jersey as well as serving in the Air Force and getting married in the 50s. While in the Air Force was stationed in Mississippi, Texas, Louisiana and Europe. Moved back to Texas permanently as a young married man in the early 60s, divorced in the late 60s, remarried in the late 70s and raised a second family. Worked in Texas, New Mexico, upstate N.Y., Hawaii, and in Asia (as a D.O.D. Contractor). The look includes a review of the values learned being raised on Military bases and in small west Texas towns. This includes the influences of country values from Pennsylvania and North Carolina. Also our values as Americans and what it means to be an American. A look at what it meant to be a man in the 40s and 50s and what it means today. Including a sometimes cynical, conservative view of life today. Sometimes sad, mostly humorous and written to help my children to know who their old man was and what he stood for. Also to hopefully start them thinking about who they are and what they have and have not done with their lives so far. Maybe they will not make the same mistakes I made. Unfortunately most of us only learn through mistakes. I know I certainly am one of those.
