The author grew up in the Cincinnati, OH area and in Kentucky. He
used to play in his grandmas barn, and would jump down on bales of
hay. That was the beginning to, "let's learn to fly." It is said,
"you can't teach a dog new tricks," but being so young, he tried to
learn them all, tricks that is. This book is an offering of many of
his accomplishments in the flying arena along with excerpts from
some of the funniest statements by many of his pilot friends. You
might say some are almost like short stories in themselves. So much
happens during the flying period of time for a pilot. The
responsibility and learning factor is huge. Most will say "it is
all worth it." The book, hopefully, will bring laughter & a
time to relax to all of who choose to read it. ENJOY
In the late 1950s I left a world of simple pleasures, where the
pace of life was slow and time almost stood still, and I arrived in
a place where my every movement was to be governed by the ticking
of the clock. In this new world I had no time to stand and stare,
nor to sit amongst the flowers or to count the bees rather than the
hours, and I ve lived between these two worlds ever since.Nothing
seems ever to stand still. For when I began my journey from my
place of birth and native land, there was a rural village with
rocks and stones at the seashore. We used these same rocks and
stones to build our homes.I remember the palm trees and grape
trees. The trees had formed an alliance that protected the land
from the onslaught of the huge Atlantic waves. The Atlantic
eventually overcame the alliance and swept away the rocks, the
stones, and the palm trees.And, as I look back, I ask myself two
questions: What has become of my island 's people?Their slow pace
of life and the simple pleasures that they once enjoyed have been
replaced by twenty-four-hour television and gadgets imported from
abroad. The old fashioned, friendly buses that carried the people
with their produce to the market have been replaced by vans that
drive at great speed along narrow winding roads. To pay for these
new pleasures, the islanders have exported their brightest,
youngest, and most talented people.And what has happened to the
place that I now call home; how has it changed?Gone are the British
Council 's representatives reassuring smiles of welcome to young
students at the ports. Gone are the smoking chimneys, the
back-to-back urban houses, and their friendly neighbourhoods.Acres
of land and fields have been given over to long hypnotic stretches
of motorways. Elegant Georgian and Victorian homes have been
replaced by large estates, and the skyline is interrupted by
high-rise blocks of metal and concrete.But there are many remaining
joys that I cherish. These include the stoicism of the people and
their humour, the easy access to places of culture, and the deep
and lasting friendships that I have made.
