Virtues of Yesteryear

This book of virtues contains a lifetime collection of stories from a thoughtful, selfless and altruistic giant of a man. An entire lifespan, 85 years of remarkable, crisp memories illuminate, for example, how the vulnerability of youth tempts one to drop out of high school, and how this regret is redeemed later in life. The years in the armed service, purchasing a first home, surviving the Great Depression and retirement are stories that will inspire and renew your belief in self. The challenges associated with leading a virtuous life emerge throughout this memoir, and how one is transformed through the process of reconciliation. In this memoir, the ordinary life becomes an extraordinary one through self-awareness, maturity and a natural inclination to do the right things in life. This memoir will renew your faith in our indomitable will to overcome challenges to lead a life of significance through deeply embedded and enduring moral principles.
