I Wasn't Supposed to Live!
Bob survived his premature birth after sharing the womb with his dead, decomposing twin. He was born in Putman county, Indiana, in a farmhouse with no hospitalization. The delivering doctor told his father he would not live through the night. At seven years of age, he was diagnosed with surviving twin syndrome. His curiosity of how things worked helped shape much of his activity in his early years. Through the years, he developed a reputation for being able to fix almost anything that quit or broke, except for a broken grasshopper''s leg. Bob spent four years in the United States Air Force, serving two years in Germany as the maintenance crew chief on the ground-to-ground Mace Missile. Upon discharge, Bob went to work for ITT Electro Optics, where he spent thirteen years. Six months after leaving his position at ITT, he had lunch with his previous boss, who informed him that ITT had hired six people to do all the things he had done for ITT. Bob spent fifteen weeks behind the Iron Curtain in the Ukraine, USSR, in 1981 and 1982-years that were stressful and educational. A meeting with "the Russians" in November 1981 may have helped contribute to the fall of the USSR. In 1984, Bob took the position of motor manufacturing engineer at Chamberlain Consumer Group. Bob retired after twenty-one years with Chamberlain where he was affectionately known as the Motor Man. When informed of a need for something new by friends, Bob would design the item on his computer then produce a prototype, proof of performance product, and deliver it and the prints to the one who had the need, stating "Here you go, you can patent it." 2nd Safe, an added safety for law enforcement weapons, is one of those items.

500 Funerals...and Counting

release date: Jun 09, 2019
500 Funerals...and Counting
During the past 10 years I have had the privilege of conducting more than 500 funerals with the Humanist Society Scotland. This has allowed me to share feelings of sadness and loss with the bereaved, but I have also regularly encountered other factors at play, including humour, anger, fear, anxiety, courage, resentment, wonder and denial. This book contains short stories and poems drawn from that experience, as well as something of what I was exposed to while working as a doctor. Although each item is unique, lying behind them all is a shared sense of humanity. There is humour, pathos and reflections which, hopefully, will cause the reader to pause for a while and consider the really big questions in life.

With wry humour, it details the successes and failures, the uncertainties and risks accompanying humanitarian endeavours in a conflict zone.

It also reveals some surprising facts about the process of delivering assistance to underdeveloped countries.By providing anecdotes of daily life, it demonstrates the difficulties locals and expatriates encounter as they struggle to cope with adversity and danger. It illustrates both the shocking brutality towards women and the careless approach to the destitute displayed by those who are charged with their care. By way of light relief from Somalia and its unrelenting problems, it intersperses several of the chapters with sketches, mainly humorous in nature, drawn from elsewhere in Africa.
