Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Memories are short, pop up out of nowhere, do not come in chronological order, or any order at all and do not come with characters dressed in pin-striped suits or polka-dot shirts! Memories are recollections of events that have occurred during your lifetime. They deal with sickness, health, the weather, tornadoes, your family, friends, childhood, job, and more. Some memories are warm and make you smile; some bring tears, and other brings laughter. Ninety years has left many memories with me, and in this book, I have jotted down dozens of memories as I recall them to share with you. Memories are short; therefore, the chapters are short, making this book an easy read.

Download or read book The Ninth Decade written by Carl H. Klaus and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2021-09-15 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ninth Decade is a path-breaking and timely book on aging: the first to focus explicitly and at length on eighty-somethings, the fastest-growing demographic in the industrialized world. Covering eight years in lively six-month installments, Klaus tells a vivid story not only of his own ninth decade and survival routines, but also of his loving companion, Jackie, who is strikingly different from him in her physical well-being, practical outlook, sociable temperament, and vigorous workouts. Cameos of their octogenarian friends and relatives near and far add to a wide-ranging and revelatory portrayal of advanced aging, as do bios of notable octogenarians. The multi-year scope of his chronicle reveals the numerous physical and mental problems that arise during octogenarian life and how eighty-year-olds have dealt with those challenges. The Ninth Decade is a unique, first-hand source of information for anyone in their sixties, seventies, or eighties, as well as for persons devoted to care of the aged. Though the challenges of octogenarian life often require specialized care, The Ninth Decade also shows the pleasures of it to be so special as to have inspired Lillian Hellman’s paradoxical description of “longer life” as “the happy problem of our time.”

Download or read book Opa Stories written by Gert Volpp and published by . This book was released on 2018-08-08 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chance has played a large role in my life. When I was 15 working on a farm, I nearly fell 50 feet through a pile of hay covering the rafters of a barn. I instinctively reached out both arms and fortunately found a rafter under each arm. If either of the beams had been positioned 90 degrees to the left or right, I would have fallen down through the hay.On my examination before graduation in high school, had I gotten the question about Tirpitz that my best friend received, since I knew nothing about Prussian politics, I would have failed the exam. I drew a question about the American Declaration of Independence, however. It just so happened that I had read about the Declaration of Independence in a magazine and become very interested in it. I knew the introduction to the Declaration of Independence by heart in German, so after a few sentences, it was clear that I knew more than the examiners, and I did well on the exam. Riding my motorcycle on a wintry day, the tires skid and I was run over by a beer truck. If I had been three feet to either side of where I fell, the tires of the beer truck would have crushed me. However, the wheels were in a straight position, which means that I happened to fall right in front of the truck. It ran over me, but I was unhurt and the truck came to a stop with me lying on the ground looking up at the oil pan beneath the truck. I was able to ride away from the accident more or less unscathed.Going to Harvard to work with Woodward was another thing that happened because of chance - my mentor in Basel knew him and Woodward had a place open at the time. I almost didn't get an immigration visa, but the Vice-Consulate in Stuttgart came from Harvard, and despite a technicality that could have meant no visa, he wanted me to go to Harvard and made it possible.Where you find employment is very much a matter of chance. You may have an employer in mind, but they don't necessarily hire when you want the job. That was the case with Sandoz. Sandoz was paying me a full salary for a beginning chemist as a graduate student, with no other agreement than that I would interview with them after I finished. When I eventually looked for a job as I was leaving Harvard, I went to Sandoz in New Jersey and interviewed with them. They were re-organizing, however, and didn't want to hire. The averted disaster stories could go under one heading, "Learning the Hard Way." Other stories have to do with having a sense of values and not compromising. I have a willingness to admit that I can't do something. My favorite example of this was the mass spectroscopy story from when I was an undergraduate. I know that I'm as bright as the other guy, so if I cannot do it, others presumably cannot do it either. That almost all the students in the intro class on physics in Basel were cheating for five semesters - two and a half years - is almost unbelievable. To me, the miraculous thing is that my willingness to admit that I can't do something, in other words, my unwillingness to cheat, somehow ended up influencing my life trajectory. That is why Professors Tamm and Reichstein at the University of Basel did not have to worry about where they were going to send me.
Book Synopsis An Album of Memories by : Tom Brokaw
Download or read book An Album of Memories written by Tom Brokaw and published by Random House Trade Paperbacks. This book was released on 2002-04-30 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I cannot go anywhere in America without people wanting to share their wartime experiences....The stories and the lessons have emerged from long-forgotten letters home, from reunions of old buddies and outfits, from unpublished diaries and home-published memoirs....As the stories in this album of memories remind us, it truly was an American experience, from the centers of power to the most humble corners of the land.” —Tom Brokaw In this beautiful American family album of stories from the Greatest Generation, the history of life as it was lived during the Depression and World War II comes alive and is preserved in people’s own words. Photographs and time lines also commemorate important dates and events. An Army Air Corps veteran who enlisted in 1941 at age seventeen writes to describe the Bataan Death March. A black nurse tells of her encounter with wartime segregation. Other members of the Greatest Generation describe their war—in such historic episodes as Guadalcanal, the D-Day invasion, the Battle of the Bulge, and Midway—as well as their lives on the home front. Starting with the Depression and Pearl Harbor, moving on through the war years in Europe, in the Pacific, and at home, this unique book preserves a people’s rich historical heritage and the legacy of a nation’s heroism in war and its courage in peace—in the shaping of their lives and of the world we have today.
Book Synopsis Nine Decades with Jesus by : William Alvis Patrick
Download or read book Nine Decades with Jesus written by William Alvis Patrick and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-05-13 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nine Decades with Jesus was chosen as the title because I believe, without a doubt, that Jesus has been with me from before my birth and throughout the nine decades of my life. Closer than a brother, Christ was always there to pull me back during my weakest moments. Knowing that Jesus is at the right hand of the Father would mean that Jesus's right hand is free. There are times when I could feel his hand in my left hand. I can't explain it any better than that. His never-failing words are beyond words. I have attempted to write this in a way that all who read my writing will somehow be drawn closer to the Lord and they too might have an enduring walk that would carry them through their own nine decades.

Book excerpt: For a fat fee, Z dresses as a chicken and harasses lawyers until they respond to her employers' unreturned phone calls. She can't remember ever doing anything else. Indeed, she can't remember anything that happened more than four months ago. That isn't a problem until a mysterious Mr. Wilson starts using increasingly gruesome threats to compel her to kill Abbey Cotton, the blonde liberal-basher who has become an embarrassment to Wilson's right-wing movement. Though Z discovers that she has a wide range of assassin's skills (which she cannot remember acquiring), she refuses Wilson's offer and becomes a hunted woman as well as a haunted one. Are her recurring daydream images ill-defined snippets of memory or something far worse? As Wilson's men close in, can she find a way to recover her past, kill and discredit Wilson, and find romance? Or is she to chicken to carry it through? A must read for anyone who wants to understand the true hidden menace of international terror, to read a darn good thriller or to have a couple of hundred mean-spirited belly laughs. Not for the illiterate or those who cannot afford the cover price.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If I were to say that in looking over my life as a pastor, it seemed to me that I had but one charge, and that was in Schenectady, I might be doing injustice to my fellow-Christians in Boston and Ithaca, who were co-workers with me; and yet I should not be far from the truth in uttering my feelings thus; for, apart from the freshness of first love, there was, between the edifice itself and my boyhood dreams, a providential link of endearment of which I shall tell.-from "In the Home Land Again-Schenectady"Cosy and intimate, these recollections of a life in the service of God make up a warm and heartfelt professional autobiography of a man who dedicated his life to faith and education.

First published in 1903, this lovely book also includes an inspiring collection of Griffis's sermons and essays on such topics as camaraderie, community, and Christ.Also available from Cosimo Classics: Griffis's The Religions of Japan.American author, educator, and theologian WILLIAM ELLIOT GRIFFIS (1843-1912) was born in Philadelphia.
