This is a humorous story about an awkward runt--a misfit growing up on a farm on the western prairies during a time when there were few radios and no electricity or plumbing. It tells about a boy in a large poverty-stricken family coming of age and making his way into the workforce. This book gives the reader vivid insights into farm life during the nineteen thirties and forties.
The reader will also experience life in the rugged logging, mining and construction camps....The author also tried sales--first vacuum cleaners door to door and later real estate. During his earlier years he used up nine lives, a well as having other narrow scrapes. At age forty-four he entered graduate school for an MBA despite having only a Grade X education, and at age fifty-one he launched a rewarding consulting career."
