Overview

"This book tells the intense story about the molding of a young Hellenic-American who was swept up by the times between 1949 to 2019, serving other students, soldiers, clients, and his family. His adventures carry one to West Point, Fort Benning, Fort Bragg, Okinawa, Korea, Philippines, Vietnam, Pentagon, Germany, federal courts, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Florida Hospital North Pinellas to Tarpon Springs on the sponge docks. Readers are not limited to those in just uniform but to all those in our society that are planning for the geriatric care of a family member or are actually taking care of a parent. As American society ages, the chances are that at least one reader out of five will, at one time or another, serve as a guardian or as a home health provider for a close family member. The fight of life by a wife with cancer provides a trail of medical battle that others may gain insights in coping and supporting loved ones. The trail of an elderly mother and the options for elder care are brought to the forefront in this text for others to gain insight for current or future use. The text reflects the growth of a young man who constantly improved and molded himself to maintain a professional currency over a span of some sixty-five years, who became a professional in the Army, served in Vietnam and in other theaters in command and staff positions, performed duties of a nuclear weapons specialist, graduated from Purdue to teach electrical engineering at West Point, graduated evening graduate business school offered by Fairleigh Dickinson University, New Jersey, and Seton Hall University School of Law, New Jersey; retired from the Army Service; practices law; and became the primary key caregiver of his beloved wife, who valiantly fought cancer, first and then later of his centenarian mother. It is hoped that readers of this book will be inspired to gain insights that may assist them in the duty of ""caring"" for others whether they be soldiers, family members, assisted living or hospital patients, or clients and, second, to reach deep within themselves to strive in maintaining their education, competence, and relevancy current over an extended life span."
