Such a Life (ePub)

Any autobiography of a son’s mother includes much of his. He grew up on a remote Filipino rubber plantation, eighty miles from the nearest city and accessible only by water. Surrounded by servants in a huge house, he and his siblings each had their own amah (nanny) until he was six. Before he was eight, he had crossed the Pacific Ocean three times on luxury liners in month-long voyages.
Then came thirty-one months of imprisonment. He was proud of his contribution to the family’s efforts during their time in Japanese prison camps when he was a young boy.
After their family was saved from death by starvation in the largest rescue of allied civilians in World War II, he went back to the Philippines for an idyllic few years before returning to America for high school.
Following an education in electrical engineering at MIT, he found love and helped raise a family that includes two sons, their lovely wives, and five grandsons. He and his wife have had fifty wonderful years together so far.
He has traveled over much of the world on business, taking his family for months to Greece and weeks in Great Britain and elsewhere in Europe. He devoted his career to repaying America for the family’s rescue. His inventions, equipment designs, and work supported the Cold War, the war on drugs, and the war on terror.
He continues to be active in his church and a number of organizations and spends his free time with his passions for history, archeology, and books.
