    About this ebook

    Some people say that we are who we are because of our environment and genes, but things have happened to me that lead me to believe that there is a something more directing our lives on this small planet. There are connections that are hard to explain. Connections with the people we meet and the places we live and visit. When I paused and looked back on my life I found lots of things that seemed divinely directed. A lot of them were not necessary about me, but about others and I only played a small part in it. For example, when writing this book I knew that I needed someone to proof read it. As I neared completion of the book a new co–worker told me of her previous employment with a publisher and that she had done a lot of proof reading. You could just take this as good fortune, but I take as a God thing. He not only met her need for a new job, but at the same time provided a friend to proof my books!

      Without a dream we have nothing. What is life but a dream and being able to put a little bit of it to work. Hubert H. Crowell.

      Preface

      Growing up just seems to happen, there is no stopping it. We get older each day. Along the way we have experiences that keep coming back and replaying in our minds over and over again. At some point in life a lot of us will have the urge to write about them. I don’t know if my life is much different than all the other men who grew up in the 50’s and 60’s, but I would like to share it with you anyway.

      Some people say that we are who we are because of our environment and genes, but things have happened to me that lead me to believe that there is a something more directing our lives on this small planet. There are connections that are hard to explain. Connections with the people we meet and the places we live and visit. When I paused and looked back on my life I found lots of things that seemed divinely directed. A lot of them were not necessary about me, but about others and I only played a small part in it. For example, when writing this book I knew that I needed someone to proof read it. As I neared completion of the book a new co–worker told me of her previous employment with a publisher and that she had done a lot of proof reading. You could just take this as good fortune, but I take as a God thing. He not only met her need for a new job, but at the same time provided a friend to proof my books!

      Dedication

      DEDICATED TO

      MY MOTHER

      Who put up with so much and who showed me how to have a good time enjoying the great things that life has to offer.

      Acknowledgments

      To Kathleen for the love and patience she has shown me through the years. For my daughter, Deanna, for the joy she has brought me. I would also like to thank my sister, Pat, for the stories of my past and for keeping the pictures. A special thanks to Jenny, who spent time proofing my work and giving me suggestions.

      Chapter 7 Sebring

      I never lived in Sebring, but I listed it as my home when getting out of the service and registered for the draft there. My family moved there while I was in the service, and when I got out I headed straight back there for a few weeks while I decided where I was going to live.

      Sebring is the home of the Sebring International Raceway located on an old air base runway and is well known for an annually held American Le Mans Series race.
