A delightfully funny book written by a "Modern Day Will Rogers" about the consequence of growing up during the 1940s and 1950s, in an unassuming small town hidden in the Appalachian foothills. The Wall Street Journal described the author's hometown as; "Intact but decaying: Pure 19th Century".
Larry M Farrar was retired from Kimberly Clark Corp. as a Senior Vice President. Larry and his wife Roberta (Bertie) now live in Columbia, TN close to their two sons and three grandchildren. Mr Farrar's professional career included certified public accountant and officer with managerial responsibility within four major international corporations. Hobbies included motorcycle touring and car racing in Sports Car Club of America sanctioned races.
"How was it possible that a poor boy with a run-of-the-mill education from a small town in the foothills of Appalachia could be so successful?"
-- Sarah Anne Carter, US Review of Books
