Book excerpt: Thomas J. Celi is a retired scientific software engineer with fifty years of professional experience.

He has been married to Loretta for sixty-three years and have five adult children, seventeen grandchildren, and one great-granddaughter. His hobbies includes building scale boat models and RC model planes. Frequently, thoughts flow into his head during the night. The College Boy was one of those thoughts. The first few chapters were purely figments of his imagination. But later, he recalled his worldwide business and pleasure travels and used The College Boy as the media to convey his memories to you, the reader. Tom's Italian background and travels through Italy influenced the boy and characters he met. Family is very important to Tom, so it is to The College Boy. Tom and the boy worked with their fathers in a family business from an early age. However, advanced education separated the boy and Tom from the businesses. Mathematics was key in the development of both Tom and the boy. Tom learned Advanced Math from on-the-job education. The boy had a natural talent for math.

Book Synopsis College-Boy Lieutenant by : Sylvan Litz
Download or read book College-Boy Lieutenant written by Sylvan Litz and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2000-10-18 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 50s have been idealized in nostalgia for the naivet of the populace and the birth of rock and roll music. But there were other factors at work that greatly affected the lives of the 50s generation. Factors such as the Korean police action, a military that had not yet fully accepted the idea that a soldier could be acquitted at a court-martial, and a society that wasnt quite ready for religious and racial harmony. COLLEGE-BOY LIEUTENANT is a story of a young man, STEVE STILLMAN, who joins the Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) so he can complete his college career without being drafted into the Army. As he graduates, marries, and enters the service as a second lieutenant, Steve encounters a myriad of situations. His education into the Army way and his growth from boyhood to manhood in the 50s military and its culture are major factors in this sometimes humorous, sometimes serious novel. When Steve reports for duty at Fort Lee, Virginia, he leaves his new wife, LAURA, behind because she is expecting their first child in little over a month. This provides him with the opportunity to experience barracks living and to make friends with two other young lieutenants, each of a different religion. As the weeks go on, the young men experience attitude changes and are toughened by their training. They decide to attend religious services together weekly in a nearby town and the search for an acceptable religious facility is disturbing but results in an easy choice. The training progresses through classroom work where Korean Army officers are included. Language differences lead to some hi-jinx but the striking philosophical differences become apparent. When the training finally ends, Steve and one of his two friends, SKEETER WALTERS, are assigned to remain at Fort Lee. They both take 15-day leaves to make family arrangements: Steve to move Laura and their new baby to Virginia and Skeeter to marry his childhood sweetheart and move her there, too. When Steve and Laura arrive at their new apartment in Virginia, they busy themselves with the usual matters of getting accustomed to a new community. Meanwhile, Steve learns he has no real duties in the Army and he breaks a cardinal rule by asking for an assignment. Meantime, Lauras mother comes for a visit and is appalled by their living quarters, persuading them to move. There are two important developments as Steve and Laura begin to search for a new apartment. First, Steve is appointed Assistant Defense Counsel for Special Courts-Martial and the soon-to-be-discharged Defense Counsel gives him an education on the astounding military system of jurisprudence. In addition, he learns the unpleasant reason why Skeeter did not resume their friendship. When Skeeter tells Steve the apartment next to his is available, Steve and Laura decide to rent it, hoping that proximity will alleviate the problem. Steves work after appointment to the court becomes one of the main elements of this story through the several court battles that take place. Some reveal the basic unfairness of the military system while others have a dramatic or humorous twist. His blossoming abilities result in an offer to be sent to law school but an evening at the officers club and a blatant example of the dictatorial nature of the system convinces him otherwise. Meanwhile, a second job assignment - that of Post Ration Breakdown Officer - becomes another main story element. Responsible for the issue of all food at the army post, Steve learns how to wield the power of the militarys true currency, coffee. He uses it to acquire a field jacket, electric calculators, and powerful friends who save the day more than once. Woven throughout the story are the day-to-day worries of Army life, the day-to-day problems of a young married couple with a baby living in a less than conventional environment, and the humorous incidents relevant to both.

Book excerpt: On the heels of his New York Times bestselling Stories I Only Tell My Friends, Rob Lowe is back with an entertaining collection that “invites readers into his world with easy charm and disarming frankness” (Kirkus Reviews). After the incredible response to his acclaimed bestseller, Stories I Only Tell My Friends, Rob Lowe was convinced to mine his experiences for even more stories. The result is Love Life, a memoir about men and women, actors and producers, art and commerce, fathers and sons, movies and TV, addiction and recovery, sex and love. Among the adventures he describes in these pages are: · His visit, as a young man, to Hugh Hefner’s Playboy Mansion, where the naïve actor made a surprising discovery in the hot tub. · The time, as a boy growing up in Malibu, he discovered a vibrator belonging to his best friend’s mother. · What it’s like to be the star and producer of a flop TV show. · How an actor prepares, for Californification, Parks and Recreation, and numerous other roles. · His hilarious account of coaching a kid’s basketball team dominated by helicopter parents. · How his great, great, great, great, great grandfather may have inspired everything from his love of The West Wing to his taste in classic American architecture. · His first visit to college, with his son, who is going to receive the education his father never got. · The time a major movie star stole his girlfriend. Linked by common themes and his philosophical perspective on love—and life—Lowe’s writing “is loaded with showbiz anecdotes, self-deprecating tales, and has a general sweetness” (New York Post).
Book Synopsis College Boy Secret by : Sylvia Dancy
Download or read book College Boy Secret written by Sylvia Dancy and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-04 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corbin is sure that something is the matter with Ted. The silence is killing him. "Did I say something wrong? Maybe I shouldn't have said anything about the scouts." Corbin's voice fills the silence, the darkness of the room. "Nah, it's not that," Ted tells him softly, licking his bottom lip. He feels himself sweating, but it's not because of the heat of the night. He's not sure how much longer he can keep this secret of his from Corbin. "Then what's the matter?" Corbin asks him. "Nothing," Ted tells him too quickly. "You've been quiet for the past week. Even with me, that's not normal. Something's eating at you. Is it your parents? If it is, you know that you can ignore them. You don't have to pick up that phone when they call you." He tells him, feeling the anger growing inside of him hoping that his parents aren't making him feel guilty for creating the life that he's wanted. "No, it's not that at all," Ted whispers to him, feeling his mouth growing dry. "Then what it is," Corbin asks him, sitting up on the bed. Ted can see his figure in the dark now that his eyes have adjusted to it. He knows that he's not going to get any sleep if he doesn't come out with it himself. "There's something that I've been meaning to tell you. Something that I've wanted to get off my chest for years now." Ted tells him, he can't believe that the words are just slipping out of his mouth. Ted can see that Corbin is getting off his bed and making his way to his. He sits down on the edge closest to Ted. "You know that you can tell me anything. It doesn't matter what it is." Corbin whispers which make it even harder for Ted to think straight. "My Sophomore year a lot of things had changed for me. That's when it all started really." Ted tells him, sitting up on his bed and pressing his back against the pillows that are behind him. Corbin doesn't say anything at all to him. He knows that whatever Ted has to say is something serious and he's been holding it in for so long that it's time for him to get it out. "It's only happened one time. Just once and I can't get it out of my head. I can't stop thinking about it." Ted swallows hard. "What?" Corbin asks him softly, feeling his heart racing. He knows that whatever it is it's quite serious.

Book Synopsis No Game for Boys to Play by : Kathleen Bachynski
Download or read book No Game for Boys to Play written by Kathleen Bachynski and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2019-11-25 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the untimely deaths of young athletes to chronic disease among retired players, roiling debates over tackle football have profound implications for more than one million American boys—some as young as five years old—who play the sport every year. In this book, Kathleen Bachynski offers the first history of youth tackle football and debates over its safety. In the postwar United States, high school football was celebrated as a "moral" sport for young boys, one that promised and celebrated the creation of the honorable male citizen. Even so, Bachynski shows that throughout the twentieth century, coaches, sports equipment manufacturers, and even doctors were more concerned with "saving the game" than young boys' safety—even though injuries ranged from concussions and broken bones to paralysis and death. By exploring sport, masculinity, and citizenship, Bachynski uncovers the cultural priorities other than child health that made a collision sport the most popular high school game for American boys. These deep-rooted beliefs continue to shape the safety debate and the possible future of youth tackle football.

Book Synopsis The Privileged Poor by : Anthony Abraham Jack
Download or read book The Privileged Poor written by Anthony Abraham Jack and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2019-03-01 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An NPR Favorite Book of the Year Winner of the Critics’ Choice Book Award, American Educational Studies Association Winner of the Mirra Komarovsky Book Award Winner of the CEP–Mildred García Award for Exemplary Scholarship “Eye-opening...Brings home the pain and reality of on-campus poverty and puts the blame squarely on elite institutions.” —Washington Post “Jack’s investigation redirects attention from the matter of access to the matter of inclusion...His book challenges universities to support the diversity they indulge in advertising.” —New Yorker “The lesson is plain—simply admitting low-income students is just the start of a university’s obligations. Once they’re on campus, colleges must show them that they are full-fledged citizen.” —David Kirp, American Prospect “This book should be studied closely by anyone interested in improving diversity and inclusion in higher education and provides a moving call to action for us all.” —Raj Chetty, Harvard University The Ivy League looks different than it used to. College presidents and deans of admission have opened their doors—and their coffers—to support a more diverse student body. But is it enough just to admit these students? In this bracing exposé, Anthony Jack shows that many students’ struggles continue long after they’ve settled in their dorms. Admission, they quickly learn, is not the same as acceptance. This powerfully argued book documents how university policies and campus culture can exacerbate preexisting inequalities and reveals why some students are harder hit than others.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Realistic and practical advice for parents of college-age kids. Parents whose kids are away at college have a tough tightrope to walk: they naturally want to stay connected to their children, yet they also need to let go. What's more, kids often send mixed messages: they crave space, but they rely on their parents' advice and assistance. Not surprisingly, it's hard to know when it's appropriate to get involved in your child's life and when it's better to back off. You're On Your Own (But I'm Here If You Need Me) helps parents identify the boundaries between necessary involvement and respect for their child's independence.
