I Began Writing As Something To Do After Retiring At 75 Following Fifteen Years Of Consulting To Client Companies In The Us Germany And Denmark But Mostly In Japan. Whenever I Describe An Experience I Had Or Tell A Story I Heard Before A Glowing Fireplace While Growing Up In Alabama Folks Urge Me To Write A Book. It Is Not The First Time I Have Been Encouraged To Write For Publication. When A Student At William & Mary My English And German Professors Urged Me To Submit For Publication Papers Written In Response To Some Of Their Assignments. I Was More Interested In Returning To The Arctic Where I Could Apply My Skills In Radio Communications Knowing Such A Service Would Be Useful And Lifesaving To Inuit And Settlers Served By 5 Moravian Missions On The Labrador Coast. That Is What Connie My Wife And I Did Under Contract To The British Board Of The Moravian Missions. With Connie Pregnant For The First Time In Five Years Of Marriage And With More Accomplished Than My Contracted Goals We Left Labrador After One Year Bringing Along Our Adopted Eskimo Orphan Lisabak.Until Age 60 I Held Positions Of Research Engineer To Company President And Was Involved In Development Of Products Ranging From Television To A Computer For Enciphering Voice To One For Use In Continental Air Defense And Another For Use In The Search For Petroleum By Converting Geophysicists' Taped Recordings Into A Picture Of The Earth'S Strata To Telemetry Used In Nasa Space Exploration To Medical Equipment Used To Aid In Diagnosis And Treatment Of Certain Conditions In Patients. I Worked In The Us Uk Iceland France Germany Holland Algeria And Japan. I Know Executives Who Retired Early But That Was Not My Ambition. I Left A Nyse-Listed Company As Vp Of Finance & Development At The Age Of Sixty And Formed Owa My Initials As Written In Japan. (In Kanji It Means Imperial Harmony).The First Year I Signed Contracts With Fourteen Companies That Paid Quarterly Retainers Plus Fees For
