Produktbeschreibung
Having survived junior high school in volume one (Adventures of an L.A. Ranch Kid: Horses and Hijinx), Art Rozell moves on to high school, where he gets into more crazy shenanigans. His middle sister, Birdie, both comes to his rescue and serves as an instigator, while his mom and dad work hard to stay one step ahead of him. Following on his adventures in elementary school and junior high in Harbor City, CA, he continues to tell the stories of his life growing up on a small ranch after WWII. In addition to high school, he had a short stint in the army where he wrangled with a drill sergeant, summer classes at USC resulting in more education than he bargained for, junior college at Compton, which gave him a life lesson he would never forget, and, finally, Occidental College, where he met his future wife, as well as some lifelong friends. These stories will surprise and charm people living in a modern world very distant from the one he describes. This is a world where a young man might ride his horse down the interior hall of his high school, have a memorable day on the gridiron, or learn much more from his lab partner than how to work together to dissect a frog.

He went on to work for General Dynamics and Hughes Aircraft Company, during which time he graduated as a night student from the University of Southern California School of Law. He subsequently worked as a corporate attorney for The Sierracin Corporation and Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream Company. At Baskin-Robbins, he began as an attorney and worked his way up to head the Legal Department, which he expanded to include international work. He helped negotiate and start Baskin-Robbins franchises in Canada, Great Britain, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Australia, and other countries, and was a steadfast member of the International Franchise Association until his retirement in 1991.
