Book Description
This is an educational book that used biographical points to illustrate lessons learned in the author's developmental years. It also reflects the author's career as a professional educator in the public schools of Iowa. The focus of the book is on the development of personal understanding through the experiences encountered growing up on an Iowa farm in the 1940's and 50's. The book is divided into four segments and includes 40 different essays under titled themes. The lessons are tied to common tasks and challenged encountered in a farm environment. The farm experience reflects the change from subsistence farming common to the era to the development of today's commercial farming. The farm is the context. The learning is universal.
