He has been a pilot, a college president, and, as these essays reveal, a bit of a rebel. He is also a husband, the father of seven, and grandfather of thirteen. He rounds out his \"first 95\" years in 2021, having lived through three quarters of the 20th century and nearly a quarter of the 21st-through the technological revolution wrought by computers and the sociological revolution wrought by the struggle for civil rights and women's rights. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book, with its \"episodic and anecdotal\" essays, is far from a conventional memoir. Yet its jumble of seemingly disjointed essays provides, in the end, a portrait of a particular person in a particular era, a restless person who has led a rich, varied, and rewarding life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eFord, Kenneth W.:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Kenneth Ford is a retired author, teacher, and physicist.","brand":"H Bar Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50929649287442,"sku":"9781732459465","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_62335432-a8b4-4f93-bc30-500df255d0ec.jpg?v=1739048024","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-first-95-years-9781732459465","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
