Those who live to be 95 are lucky, blessed or just living right. As an eight-year-old boy, Gene Peterson was lucky he didn't lose more than two fingers when he played with dynamite. As a young man, he was thankful for his battle buddies and the many blessings that helped him survive World War II. Although he outlived two wives, he's thankful and blessed with wonderful memories, four children, five grandchildren, and three great grandchildren. As an older man, he still wakes up every day happy to be alive. This isn't the story of a wealthy, well-educated man who can guide you to monetary riches. It's the story of a man who is rich in attitude. Gene's wealth and education are based on a foundation of hard work, honest optimism and sound character. He is happy to live life. He enjoys people and stays positive in the face of so many reasons to fret. As told to daughter, Jean Adair, Gene Peterson provides wisdom drawn from his first 95 years of living a long and happy life. The book tells stories of family, military service, sports, work, and travel spanning 95 years of positive living.
