Book Description
What happens when a 45-year-old Baby Boomer goes back to teach high school and finds the students are more in touch with reality than his colleagues and supervisors? “So don't blow off these tests. Keep our school number high. These test scores are not about you, the students. They are about property value. Money. Status. Making the rich richer and the poor poorer. The American Dream is about moving from districts with shitty test scores to those with really good ones.” “Teaching isn't easy—it's grueling. You have to have the gift or you won't make it.... teachers should be paid like doctors and lawyers; their contributions affect the lives of millions of young people .... what they give back to the human race is far, far greater.” “The evaluation of teachers is a very hot issue at this writing, and as Storm once told the entire faculty, the people doing the evaluating take these extra courses, but it doesn't really qualify them to evaluate anybody.”

Book Description
Morgan's humorous and resource-filled collection of essays centers on turkey hunting, wildlife behavior, and growing up in the small Louisiana town of Jackson in the mid-20th century.A mixed breed of a book, it's what you get when you cross the roguish, homespun charm of a master storyteller with the wisdom of a master hunter, turkey caller maker, inventor, naturalist, and teacher-philosopher.With humility and humor the late Kenny Morgan (1946-2011) uses the antics of his lovable, but uncivilized childhood mongrel dog, Buster, as allegory for human nature, with the gentle reminder that "how you act matters." Morgan offers a witty examination of simpler times, giving voice to characters and shenanigans of his colorful life, with relevance -- life lessons -- for our time. The book's format pairs lush images of wildlife and American landscapes with Morgan's thoughtful musings on 50+ years of pursuing the wild turkey--and the practice he's learned along the way to "live artfully." "My intent is to set standards by teaching the artistry of the hunt: practicing cleverness and integrity in the pursuit of wild things," he says.Indeed, the book brims with expert wild turkey-calling and -hunting technique. But its real beauty comes through Morgan's captivating observations of wildlife, told with vivid tales that ensnare hunters and non-hunters alike with fascinating insights, such as how animals communicate--even across species--to look out for one another.Even more, it's about applying principles learned in the wild to cultivate decency with choices we make on the paths of the everyday.Anyone who appreciates a story well-told and compelling art photographs, or someone looking for first-rate tips to call up and bag a gobbler, will find this book a valuable addition to their library, nightstand, or coffee table.America, Wild Turkeys & Mongrel Dogs is a celebration of the joy that is all around us.

Book Description
The story my father told me long ago goes like this. Sometime during his Army career, at a time and place unknown, probably 1943 or early 1944, he would routinely check a certain bulletin board for the names or numbers of those soldiers slated to go overseas. One day, he noticed his name had "flopped" from the "not going overseas" list to the "going overseas" list. My father also noticed he had been "switched" with another soldier who, the day before, was going overseas, and suddenly, he was not but my father was. This usually did not happen. So he decided to try and find out how he had been "switched." He wrote a letter to an off-base name as high in the Army hierarchy as he could find. He explained the mysterious switch and waited. He wanted to know how and why his name had been switched with some other guy. He was twenty-two and away from familiar surroundings for the first time and was panicked and in fear. He prayed. After some time, my dad was summoned to the office of his camp head honcho who told him: "I'm not sure who you are or who you know, but I am holding orders to personally transfer you to any place you want to go in the Continental United States for the duration of the war." My father said, "Florida." His military record was skeletal at best. I decided to find out where he was and when. That is the story of this book.
