About the Book

On October 10, 1937, a child was born to parents whose home had been a tent near the Old West town of Deadwood, South Dakota, located in the Black Hills; sacred to the Sioux Indian Nation. In June of 1969, that same individual began a 17-year teaching career as a university biology professor. Later, he utilized his expertise as an entomologist to combat insect vectors - carriers of human diseases - in his home county, Ventura California. How did all of that come about? What were his motivations, feelings and dreams? What role did the negative and positive aspects of his youth with an extended family in poverty during the 50's and other interpersonal relationships play? How did he and his wife manage to support themselves through college during the turbulent 60's; earning Ph.D.s while they had two small children, survived a tornado and she battled cancer? Is life as a university professor as idyllic and conflict-free as it appears from the outside? Can a soulmate be found at first sight in midlife? What changes have occurred in people, places, economies, and society's mores from the days of the Great Depression to the Twenty-First Century? This true life story reveals the answers to all of these questions, and much more with Andy Rooneysque observations. Among other things, you will discover: Sex education available during the 50's; a natural method to increase the probability of having a child of desired gender; differences between bugs, insects, spiders and mites; the identity and use of Rocky Mountain oysters; how to avoid infection by parasites and other important aspects of personal health, such as the best diet of all time. My Nickel's Worth hassomething of value for everyone, whether it is information important to one's health, or simply enjoyment of traveling from Deadwood to the winding country roads of Oregon, back to Kansas then to Southern California, with a return to rural Oregon that includes detours to Tahiti, London, Paris, Barcelona, Switzerland, Mediterranean Regions, Scandinavian Capitals and Down Under, all intertwined with humor, love, faith and science.
