Ruben and Lillian (Martin) Corgill were my parents. Ruben was born in 1890. Lillian was born in 1898.

Produktbeschreibung
Ruben and Lillian (Martin) Corgill were my parents. Ruben was born in 1890. Lillian was born in 1898. Their lives spanned a time period from "horse and buggy" days to the jet age and space exploration. However, the way they lived didn't change very much as the modern world was evolving around them. Throughout their productive years, they stuck to the old ways of surviving by being self-sufficient in a rural, agricultural environment. Their roots had not prepared them for "getting by" in other ways. Even in the 1950s, they were still manually doing farm work when machines had replaced people and horses all around them. So many times, one day ended with no clear conviction that the next one wouldn't bring problems beyond their capabilities. How they managed to survive from day to day and year to year on the meager fruits of their labors and raise a family in the process is an outstanding example in human integrity and industry. They survived, though, and held their heads high to the end. Theirs is a story worth telling.

Autorenporträt
Wayland Corgill is an electrical engineer. He has a BS degree from Southern Methodist University. He engaged in engineering and engineering management throughout his professional career. A large part of that work involved writing technical specifications for equipment and construction projects. After retirement, writing about other subjects proved to be a satisfying hobby. One book recently published is about life on a small West Texas sharecropper cotton farm. Three more books about experiences in Saudi Arabia are near completion. His wife, Carole, has a journalism degree from The University of Texas and that is unquestionably fortunate for Wayland.
