The author wrote a series of stories that tell about the good times, fun times, bad times and sad times that happened during the 1920's through the mid 1940's to a family living on a farm in Arkansas. It tells how Wind, Fire, and other events caused a major change in their way of life and how they survived. The author also included some stories that could have happened, but are products of his creative mind.

This is a story about a successful school principal & basketball coach and a failed job interview in 1950 that changed his career direction 180 degrees and opened a door of opportunity for a journey that led to the Houston Space Center 17 years later. There were forks in the road and stops along the way. The experiences of work and recreation were challenging, interesting, exciting, one of a kind and at times disappointing, but always rewarding.
