Download or read book Farm Boy s Dream written by John O. Jacobs and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My vision of flying started with C. Lindberg flying solo across the Atlantic and the pictures of him landing in France at night, I believe. I believe there was also a fellow by the name of Chamberln not sure of the spelling on his name who had planned the same trip, but Lindberg beat him to it; I believe he was from Iowa. And then there was Col. Roscoe Turner, who held world s speed record at, I believe it was, 300 mph sometime in the early thirties. And then there was Wily Post one-eyed pilot, who, with Will Rogers, a humorist from Oklahoma, attempted a round-the-world flight and crashed; and both were killed in Alaska. And then the China Clipper on its maiden flight John Music I used to; believe me. And then there was Amelia Earhart. Flying was in my blood, until I did not get to attend high school; so my flying dreams went out the window, knowing that I would need all the education to get there. So WW II came along, and as you see, my dream did come true to come out of service and to be qualified to fly any aircraft that was being flown in the world. And now you would wonder: why would anyone pass up an opportunity such as that? Good question . . . you were allowed only twenty hours a week flying time . . . free time that bothered me; being a farmer, we had no free time to speak of. There was nothing more boring than flying hours on end with nothing to look at. It was not boring on the way to a target but on the way back to base five hours of blue sky and water. We did not fly every day, maybe three missions a week. There was no recreation down there, believe me. Since I was the youngest, it was expected of me to take care of my parents on the farm.

Download or read book A Farm Boy in Oz The Complete Series written by Aron Lewes and published by Aron Lewes. This book was released on 2022-07-18 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WARNING: Be advised, this version of Wizard of Oz contains very strong language. First and foremost, Dylan Gale is the caregiver of his dying mother. When he's not taking care of her, he single-handedly tends to the family farm. Well... not quite single-handedly. He gets a lot of help from his loyal terrier and good boy, Simon. One fateful night, a storm sweeps through Kansas and whisks him away to the land of Oz. There, he meets a “good” witch named Glennis, who sends him on an “important mission” to save the people of Oz. (He's actually murdering her sister, but he doesn't need to know that). Along the way, he meets a foul-mouthed lady scarecrow, a cowardly knight (wearing way too much armor), and an excessively polite robot named Ten. A Farm Boy in Oz is a genderbent fantasy retelling that isn't meant to be taken too seriously. Please note: This was originally released as a 2-part series. A Farm Boy in Oz: The Complete Collection contains both parts of the story.
Download or read book Music City Farm Boy written by Marc Allen Sheer and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2024-08-29 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the mid-1970's, Illinois farmboy Marc Allen is a feisty, hell-drivin' 19-year-old full of dreams and ambition. Just one problem. Marc's dreams do not include baling hay and plowing fields. By this time, Marc has become not just a farmboy, but a disc jockey, club musician, and songwriter. So now he's happy, right? Wrong. Marc becomes bored and restless, longing for something greater. An adventure. So, instead of wallowing in his own self-induced nest of misery, Marc decides to take wing and fly away. Chucks it all, leaving two steady girlfriends (at least two) and heads for Nashville, in search of a little fame and a lot of fortune. Alas, an old story, one that's been told a million times. Except in Marc Allen's case, he just happens to be me. What can I say, I was young and foolish. Now I'm old and foolish. Still, all things considered, I think it's a story that needs to be told. You'll see what I mean. A story of dreams, adventure, and tragedy. And many years later after I had moved to Florida, my teen-aged daughter, Maddy, began asking all sorts of pointed questions. You know, stuff about my past, Nashville and the music business. She's a lot like her Pop, curious about every damn thing. At a young age, Maddy had taken up the piano. And over the years had listened to her Pop go on and on about the "runnin' days." Home, then Music City. Me and my big mouth. But anyway, the more we talked I figured what the hell, maybe I could put it all together ya know? Into book-form. A keepsake. And so, here it is, written as though I'm speaking to my daughter---because I was at the time---the story of my young life. The up's, the down's, and how a terrible tragedy kept me on the edge for many years. But ya know, people like that have two choices. They can either end it all, or somehow find a way to go on. Thanks to Maddy, l found a way.

Book excerpt: Simon Hirsh, living in 1910 in a crowded Boston tenement, wants to be a farmer when he grows up. "Who ever heard of a Jewish farmer?" his uncle scoffs. But after Simon's little brother almost gets stepped on by a huge carthorse in the street teeming with traffic, Simon's parents decide to buy a house away from the city's dangers. Simon works hard after school to make their new home a real farm, so that his father doesn't have to work so hard in the clothing business, but he encounters many setbacks, among them a chicken-cheater, duck disasters (2), and a challenging friendship. Simon and Patrick-both outsiders-become friends. Patrick's Irish family is destitute and in trying to help them, Simon gets into serious trouble. Too proud to accept charity, Patrick turns on Simon and they have a bitter fight. Simon doesn't care if he never sees Patrick again. He has something else to worry about. The aunt he's never seen, who was a little girl when Simon's mother left Russia years ago, is coming to live with his family if she can escape from Russia and survive the difficult voyage to America. Little does Simon know that his Aunt Rifka will help him make his farm dream a reality.
