From childhood in rural Missouri to active retirement in California, Evie Anderson has led a remarkable - some would say "charmed" - life. In this unique memoir, Evie shares stories and personal experiences from her early childhood and teenage years through today. As the wife of a U.S. Naval officer, she embarked on a lifetime of travel that became the fulfillment of a childhood dream. A young teenager at the dawn of the Great Depression, she has seen seven U.S. presidents and visited 64 countries over her lifetime. Evie's energetic zest for life and sharp wit are legendary. Her unique sense of humor and love for joke telling led to regular appearances on nationally syndicated radio programs, including Rick Dees' Weekly Top 40. Her story is interspersed with humorous anecdotes and she devotes an entire chapter to some of her favorite jokes.
