Summary

This book is a collection of true short stories and anecdotes that happened to me over the course of my life. As a college student at the University ofAlabama, I witnessed turbulent times during the historical "Civil Rights Era." My professional career as a geologist with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers involved ten years on the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway, as well asinteresting assignments in foreign countries. This book should appeal to geologists, "baby boomers," and anyone interested in true stories about growing up in the '50s, college life in the '60s, and years of adventures as a "wayward" geologist. John Craig Shaw

Excerpts

This book is an autobiographical collection of true stories--including growing up in the South in the '50s, college life in the '60s (University of Alabama & University of Hawaii), and many years working as a professional geologist until retirement in 1995. Each chapter is a complete story--some stories are historical (think Civil Rights Era), while others are very comical and entertaining. Also, included are a few stories about some characters (people and animals) that I have met along the way. J.C. Shaw
