My Life (ePub)

I tell about my boyhood in the 1920s and 1930s on a small farm, living in relative poverty (by current living standards), when I wouldn’t have dreamed that I would have the life that I have lived:


– a law school degree from the University of Oregon
– a successful and interesting career
– combat in WWII and military service in the Korean War
– extensive involvement with government (state and federal)
– interesting experiences with foreign governments—Ecuador, Indonesia, and Iran
– involvement in the Rockefeller for presidential campaigns that could have changed history
– historic battles over land use planning and workmen’s compensation at the state and federal levels
– campaigns for Congress in 1982 and 1984
– over twenty years as a volunteer with Oregonians In Action, fighting for property rights and reforming Oregon’s badly flawed land use system
– extensive travels all over the world, except the continent of Africa
– family life and raising four children despite the loss of two wives to cancer


In the last chapter, I write about my outlook on the future of this country. I comment on the Moshofsky children’s rise from poverty to prosperity and the huge technological advances after my boyhood in the 1920s, which were made possible by the free market, private enterprise system. I warn that the system is in jeopardy because of the flawed policies of the Obama administration, and urge everyone to do everything they can to be sure that he is a one-term president.


I have included in the appendix a speech I gave in 1972 on environmental extremism, a 1975 article on excessive government intrusion in land use, and my Jobs for Oregon program in my 1982 campaign for Congress.
