Being #5 child in a family of 13 was a challenge in itself. As the saying goes "the first one up is the best dressed." Going from the roaring twenties, into the depression of the 30's, and then on into WWII at age 18 was an exciting journey. Graduating from the University of Wisconsin in Accounting in 1950 gave me a basic skill level to take me through 60 years in various challenging areas of work, including business brokering where I am still gainfully employed at age 83. Want to buy a business? If not, just buy this book, and let me take you on a most interesting and exciting life of just one more member of the "Greatest Generation"
