I wrote this book for two reasons. One, I think life is a very special thing, and it is worth making a record of it. I not only lived but I did some very unusual things. Two, in any event, I think everyone should make some kind of a record of their life. A tape, a disc, a flash drive or a book, whatever you want. This book provides a quick and light-hearted source of inspiration for anyone and everyone, including Baby Boomers, the Generations of X, Y, and Z, and/or the Millennials of today. Written by a man who survived a 100-foot hang-gliding fall and lived to tell about it. Long after the 1984 injury, the author, 88-years-old at the time of the writing, quips on life pre-social media era (now heavily influenced by Tik Tok, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, and Instagram). Allen Vance offers a simple all-American look into how life was back in the 1930s without all the gadgets and gizmos to where we are today in the future. These life experiences validate the idea that it's perfectly fine not to be normal for those of us who don't want to fit-in (and those of us who do) with the rest of the crowd.
