Many children were born into poverty, and thus had no apparent reason to try to succeed. That was the case with Mahlon "Dick" Palmer. Dick was the youngest of four boys and was certainly not a welcome addition to the Palmer family. He was born in the midst of the greatest depression the country has ever experienced, thus another mouth to feed. There was one positive benefit though; this child did provide a cheap source of labor. As you will discover, Dick was expected to work 12 to 14 hours every day until he left home to join the Air Force when he was seventeen years old.Dick's very best childhood friend was his dog King, who is on the cover of this book. Without King, Dick's childhood would have been very very difficult, for they were always together.Life was about to change dramatically when Dick joined the Air Force when he was 17 years old. The title of the book, "Destiny," is very appropriate since it was at that time when destiny played a major role in Dick's life.
