Author Charles E. Willingham always said he would achieve
millionaire status before he turns sixty years old. At the age of
fifty-nine-one day before his sixtieth birthday-Willingham achieves
his lofty goal. But it was a long, hard road.
Born in 1939, Willingham grows up in Texas picking cotton,
feeding chickens, and graduating at the bottom of his high school
class. But he soon catapults to the big time, becoming a U.S. Air
Force Cold War spy, nearly getting shot down by Russian MIGs, and
landing in the middle of the Cuban Missile Crisis and the building
of the Berlin Wall.
After the Cold War, Willingham creates hardware at Cal-Tech to
measure the cosmic microwave fields emitted from the theoretical
Big Bang, and then helps develop the country's first weather
satellites at Ford Aerospace. But it is when he enters the
relatively new field of computer technology that he eventually
makes his fortune working for computer software magnate Bill
Gates.
With a host of laugh-out-loud escapades, "In My Time" is a
classic rags-to-riches story and a vivid chronicle of one man's
life in the twentieth century. A rollicking rollercoaster ride
around the world and back, it is also a tale of Willingham's rugged
individualism and hard-earned wisdom.
