Produktbeschreibung
At a young age, Paul Hickey decided he would collect experiences. He was determined to visit as many cities and countries as possible. Along the way, he made plenty of friends (and jokes), allowing him to now look back at age 92 and know he succeeded with his goal. Paul's inspiring life story goes from growing up on a modest tobacco farm in rural Kentucky to spending a 60-year international career in technology. Perhaps it was his Irish grandmother, who became ill as an infant on an immigrant ship to New Orleans and was almost thrown overboard, that instilled in him how to deal with life's uncertainties by continuing to live to the fullest. He and his loving wife, Judy, raised their five children in Austin, Texas, before spending their golden years traveling the world for business. Weaved throughout Paul's stories are his secrets to nine decades of happiness: a strong commitment to family, friends, faith, intellectual curiosity, empathy to others, and last but not least, continual humor.

His first job out of the service was selling typewriters for IBM, which lead to a half-century career with a front row seat to the incipient stages of today's computer and technology industry. Paul lives in Austin with his wife, Judy, and frequently sees his five children and their spouses, as well as his thirteen adored grandchildren, who affectionately call him 'Hat'.
