The Misadventures of a Country Boy recounts the humorous, exciting, and sometimes scary, experiences of a boy born on a
tenant farm in rural Alabama who never expected much from life.   For over 75 years I lived and/or worked in  more than 40
cultures around the world before retiring to my hometown Auburndale, Florida.  When you read this book, you will experience,
through my words, what it was like growing up during the hard times of the Great Depression and WWII, the tales from my travels,
and finally the culmination of three quarters of a century of struggles, adventures, and finally the fulfillment of  my dreams and
aspirations.

Read about the time that I was almost shot by an airport guard in Taiwan, when I drank too much beer and fell into a  "benjo"
ditch in  Yokusuka Japan, when I finally got up enough courage to take on the barracks bully in Kami Seya Japan, how I was
threatened in Burma, my trip to the headhunter's village in Borneo where I ate worms and tried my hand with a blow gun, my
going away dinner of snakes and only snakes, in Guangzhou (Canton) China, how I went snow (not water) skiing in the
Himalayans, my face to face encounter with a huge bear on my cabin deck, and much, much more.   

I spend my time six months in Florida and six months atop Great North Mountain, Gore, Virginia where I write, woodwork and
commune with nature.
