My father, now 91 years old, just released his second book, titled “What I Would Do As U.S. President.”

It’s a thought-provoking alternative to all the brain mush out there.

For example –

Dad with new book

• * What would he feed leaders from other countries? (It’ll make you laugh, but a real President did this.)
• * What would he do with Air Force One? (You’ll never guess, but it actually makes sense.)
• * How much taxes would low income earners pay? (Anyone making less than $25k a year will love this.)
• * How often would the President travel to meetings? (Let’s just say the President won’t need luggage.)

This former U.S. Marine, prize fighter, railroad supervisor, father of four, widower, and storyteller, has some solid common sense ideas that will entertain and educate you.

Jimbo Berkey said (used here with his permission) –

“I just finished reading my copy of your father’s latest book and I am awed by his thoughts in chapter four – it should be mandatory reading for every man and woman over the age of 15. I’ve never encountered that much wisdom on one subject in one place before.”

Take one look at the cover and you’ll instantly know this one is unique.

Trump, Hillary, and all other politicians could learn something from reading this book — assuming (as my father might say) — they can all read.

Ao Akua,

Contemplating the future

Around 2010, my father started recording his life story on cassettes.

It took him five years.

But he did it.

Earlier this year he sent me a box of ninety-minute cassettes, a cassette player, and an envelope with photos in it.

I then had the tapes transcribed, edited, and formatted into a book.

On June 4th, my father’s 90th birthday, I presented his published autobiography to him.

He was speechless.

He held it like a newborn baby.

He was flushed, teary eyed, and truly moved.

And so was I.

My father found time to record his life story because it was important to him.

And he did it while being the primary caretaker of my bedridden mother, now 84.

And he did it while maintaining his own exercise routine of working out two hours a day.

And he did it while cooking, cleaning, running errands, dealing with harsh winters and hot summers, and his own medical challenges.

But he did it.

If a ninety year old man can complete one of his dreams, then you can, too.

You simply begin and then stick with it.

Before too long, your dream comes true.

Just like my Dad’s.

PS – My father’s book, The Most Contented Man, will be available on Amazon soon. And he’s planning to record a second book: What I Would Do If I Was President of the United States. 🙂
