This book is a tribute to my parents who instilled in me a strong will to succeed. The emphasis was on hard work and honesty. There was little money available but that made little difference to the boys in Keiffer Holler.

My story deals with the many twists and turns of leaving the mountains of Appalachia. Some are sad and some are hilarious.

The strong values I gained during my formative years in Appalachia were a major factor guiding me to success throughout my first 76 years of life.
