{"product_id":"lost-acres-9780692667743","title":"Lost Acres","description":"This book recalls life on a small family farm in Western Kentucky in the 1940s. It's a way of life that was extraordinarily rich and fulfilling, but was also devilishly hard work. It's truly rare today for a farm family to do all of the work described, however, farmers still grow corn, milk cows, and feed hogs, but they do so in a much more business-like way than back then. Wondering if current life is as satisfactory, come with the author as the old ways are re-created in this fascinating book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard C.

I graduated high school in 1951, and sailed the Great Lakes as a deck hand. I joined the Army as a slick sleeve private in December of that year, and retired as a Lt. Col. I was a paratrooper for sixteen of my twenty years, with service both in Korea and Vietnam. Along the way I married my high school sweetheart, and we had three sons. After all too many night classes I earned a Bachelor of Science degree, then later, a master's degree. My first wife died at age thirty-six, and I retired from the Army to be with my sons. Later I acquired a new wife, two more sons, and a job with the state of Delaware. After I retired I worked for several years with schizophrenic patients. Leaving the mental health field, I spent ten years working as a part-time security guard at Chesapeake College. Now, fully retired, I spend my days puttering in my workshop, camping with my wife of forty-plus years, scribbling little tales, and musing about my long and busy life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shore Enterprizes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40660648001651,"sku":"9.78069E+12","price":14.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_0aa53f49-344c-4328-ae03-f96d2458105c.jpg?v=1673446898","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/lost-acres-9780692667743","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
