Produktbeschreibung

This book is not only the story of my life but the story of my family ancestry beginning with the immigration of the Hermes Family from Germany to Lavaca County, Texas in 1859. It tells the story of the hardships they suffered and the successes they achieved during a time when there were few conveniences. They built their own houses, churches and schools and being farmers and ranchers , they lived a rugged life requiring hard work and having few comforts. Their trust in god and their desire to be prosperous Americans with a better life than the one they left behind, drove them to do whatever was necessary to succeed. It is also the story of my humble beginning as an under exposed 'country boy' and the difficulties and challenges I had to overcome to reach my goal to become an architect and businessman in a highly competitive and sophisticated urban social environment that I knew nothing about. It exposes my missteps, failures and regrets, both personally and professionally, that I had to overcome to reach those goals that I dreamed about when I was just a teenager. This book talks about my many adventures, misadventures and achievements and the many friends at all levels of business and society that I have been fortunate enough to accumulate and know.
