I tell about my boyhood in the 1920s and 1930s on a small farm, living in relative
poverty (by current living standards), when I wouldnt have dreamed that I would
have the life that I have lived:
a law school degree from the University of Oregon
a successful and interesting career
an enjoyable family life with four children despite the loss of two wives to cancer
combat in WWII and military service in the Korean War
extensive involvement with government (state and federal)
interesting experiences with foreign governmentsThe Bahamas, Ecuador,
Indonesia, and Iran
involvement in the Rockefeller for President campaigns that could have changed
history
historic battles over land use planning and workmens compensation at the state
and federal levels
campaigns for Congress in 1982 and 1984
over twenty years as a volunteer with Oregonians In Action, fi ghting for property
rights and reforming Oregons badly fl awed land use system
extensive travels all over the world, except the continent of Africa
In the last chapter, I write about my outlook on the future of this country. I
comment on the Moshofsky childrens rise from poverty to prosperity and the
huge technological advances after my boyhood in the 1920s, which were made
possible by the free market, private enterprise system. I warn that the system is in
jeopardy because of the fl awed policies of the Obama administration, and urge
everyone to do everything they can to be sure that he is a one-term president.
I have included in the APPENDIX a speech I gave in 1972 on environmental
extremism, a 1975 article on excessive government intrusion in land use, and my
Jobs for Oregon program in my 1982 campaign for Congress.
