More DescriptionMy Six Passages is the story of one man's challenge-filled and adventure-filled life, beginning on a Missouri sharecropper farm and ultimately placing him at the centers of power and influence in Washington and abroad. In Part II of a four-part memoir, the author recounts the many challenges and adventures of his post-military career... his return to the blue-collar workforce, his inability to do factory work because of injuries received during his military service, his courageous decision to pursue a degree in engineering, the incredible difficulty of working his way through college with a wife and two children to support and with no financial assistance, the triumphs and trials of a career in the corporate world, his shocking introduction to the realities of the political world, and his sudden and unexpected departure from a successful engineering career into the mysterious and unknown world of the corporate lobbyist. It is these experiences the author describes in Part II of his four-part memoir, subtitled "Chasing the Dream."
