Description: Autobiographical account of growing up on a farm near Walcott, North Dakota, experiencing a killer tornado, surviving teenage confusion, four years on a United States Navy submarine, a skydive, not maturing into a regular adult, discovering that the world was not a bowl of cherries, a crash to the bottom; and, finally, accepting that the only person responsible for himself, was himself.
Notes: "At the end is my latest short fiction Waiting to die : for a hundred years mankind has feared the pandemic, an extraordinarily-mutated virus, that vicious creature that cannot be seen by the naked eye."
