He starts off as a scholarship boy at Manchester Grammar School at the beginning of World War Two. After a stint in the Civil Service, conscription into the Army and life as a tea planter in India, he eventually becomes a salesman. Roy progresses right up to managing director, before suddenly jacking it all in at the age of 59, waving goodbye to his mystified family and backpacking round France while he 'gets his head straight'. Returning to England, Roy is ready for the next challenge. He is soon busier than ever, with a variety of jobs, including manufacturer's agent, toastmaster and masseur. Heading for the next decade, Roy shows no signs of retiring yet. He says: Life's still good, and far better than the alternative.
Download or read book Memoirs of an Ordinary Guy written by Daniel Stuart Olmes and published by Post Hill Press. This book was released on 2023-01-24 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By most measures, Daniel Olmes is an ordinary guy—but he’s learned how to live an extraordinary life. In Memoirs of an Ordinary Guy, Daniel asserts that we are all capable of being extraordinary and redefines what it means to be just another ordinary person. He is living proof that extraordinary is there for all of us. It doesn’t mean rich or famous. It doesn’t mean better. To Daniel, “extraordinary” means grateful, honest, happy, loving, fearless, and faithful. Doing extraordinary things is not what makes us extraordinary. Being extraordinary is having an extraordinary perspective on our lives and the things that happen to us. Daniel’s narrative will inspire everyone to view their lives differently, remind us of the stories that we all share, and spark a renewed curiosity about a world that’s anything but ordinary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few people can claim careers in two biblical professions: minister and tax collector. In his captivating memoir, Adventures of an Ordinary Man, William Lee Goff shares the triumphs and tragedies of his life as both a Presbyterian minister and an IRS Revenue Agent. Goff writes unpretentiously with deep humanity and subtle humor about his life's adventures: learning to play the cello from a freedom fighter; overcoming his fears to become an amateur stage actor; and traveling in South Africa, Israel, Russia and Denmark. Adventures of an Ordinary Man is a compelling and rewarding read. Although a native of St. Louis, Missouri, William Lee Goff spent his formative years in Los Angeles, California. He earned a bachelor's degree in English from UCLA and then went on to Fuller Theological Seminary where he completed a Doctor of Ministry degree. Goff has had dual careers, one as an ordained Presbyterian minister who served as pastor in churches in California, Colorado, and Idaho. His alter ego had a nearly 25-year career with the IRS. Goff lives with his wife, Tatyana, in Southern California.

Download or read book Memoirs of an Ordinary Man written by Malcolm Sykes and published by . This book was released on 2012-10-31 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Memoirs of an Ordinary Man" is a humorous, and often irreverant, record of the life of the Author. It is told from his early years, growing up in London in the 1950's as the son of a motor mechanic, through his time as an officer in the Merchant Navy, to his years as a senior figure in the financial services industry. If you think memoirs are dull affairs, think again. This book will appeal equally to those who grew up in the same period and like to reminisce; to those who would like to learn the truth about the "good old days" and what they were really like; and to those who simply like to enjoy a good story that makes them smile. Reading this without grinning is as difficult as eating that famous fruit pastille without chewing! A brief extract...."The kitchen was an interesting place, with lime green painted walls and a coal cellar (which wasn't a cellar at all, but a cupboard) opening out right next to the cooker. When the coal man (not very P.C, but that was his title, and I can't remember any coal ladies hunking hundredweight sacks of nutty slack in on their shoulders) delivered the coal, it was tipped from a sack straight into this floor-level cupboard and great balls of black soot would gush out into the kitchen like a pyroclastic cloud. This would be deposited on the cooker, the floor, and anything else in a ten-foot radius. As the kitchen wasn't more than twelve feet, this meant just about everything. Opposite the cooker and sink was the toilet, which I suppose was quite useful as you could hear if things were boiling over as you sat there. And then there was the floor standing hand mangle, used to dry clothes before they were hung out on the line. This fascinated me as I watched the water pour out of clothes which went in as a thick wedge and came out almost paper thin. I had occasional dark thoughts about what would happen if you put small creatures like our white mice through, although I'm pleased to say these thoughts never developed into the full experimentation stage."

Download or read book Everything Left to Remember written by Steph Jagger and published by Flatiron Books. This book was released on 2022-04-26 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This will cast a spell on fans of Cheryl Strayed and Glennon Doyle." - Publishers Weekly Between Two Kingdoms meets Wild. In this heart wrenching and inspirational memoir a woman and her mother, who is suffering from dementia, embark on a road trip through national parks, revisiting the memories, and the mountains, that made them who they are. Steph Jagger lost her mother before she lost her. Her mother, stricken with an incurable disease that slowly erases all sense of self, struggles to remember her favorite drink, her favorite song, and—perhaps most heartbreaking of all—Steph herself. Steph watches as the woman who loved and raised her slips away before getting the chance to tell her story, and so Steph makes a promise: her mother will walk it and she will write it. Too aware of her mother’s waning memory, Steph proposes that the two take a camping trip out to Montana—which her mother, on the urging of Steph’s father, agrees to embark upon. An adventure full of horseback riding, hiking, and “tenting” out West quickly turns into one woman’s reflection on childhood, motherhood, personhood—and what it means to love someone who doesn’t quite remember the person she spent her lifetime becoming. A staggeringly beautiful examination of how stories are passed down through generations and from Mother Nature, Everything Left to Remember brings us the wisdom of who our memories make us under the constellations of the vast Montana sky.
