Can a Depression Era Midwestern farm boy attending a one-room country school find success in the world unfolding around him? This autobiography addresses that general question by answering several queries into major events of these ninety years. What was learning like in a one-room country school of the late 1930s and early 1940s? How fares the first in his family to attend high school and then continue to earn bachelor, master, and doctoral degrees? How did experiences in military service shape the development of this individual? At two major land grant universities, how were issues of integration, war protest, cultural advancement, and academic expansion addressed. In retirement, what adventures lay in extensive travel and enrichment teaching? The answers to these questions are found in annual budget books dating to marriage in 1952, letters from occupation Germany, academic year calendars, family photo collections, Christmas newsletters, and the memories that these stir.
