About This Item
Dedication by author on tile page.
In 1940, seventeen-year-old Willard J. Strong flees his family's remote Northeastern Canadian farm. Driven by an adventurous spirit and steered by an internal code of conduct, he combats hunger, fights enemies, tackles education, fears failure, grieves loss, and gains determination. As he supports his young family Willard blazes a career path leading to the Aerospace Industry. He designs and develops FLIRS, Weapons Systems, Guided Missiles, Space Systems, and top secret equipment. All the while Willard travels the world, creates a Boy Scout campground, canoes down raging rivers, and races and breeds Thoroughbred horses. He is living life with gusto.
