About the Book

“Learn to Love & Love to Learn” is the autobiography of a Hoosier lad born in 1933, depicting his struggles to overcome strict limitations imposed on him while growing up in an ultra-conservative environment.

The book is fi lled with questions, many common and many stupid mistakes, guesses, selfi sh choices, and funny as well as sad and heart-wrenching experiences. It uncovers valuable discoveries as: ‘Why?’ is not only permissible, but an absolutely necessary question needed to understand life’s meanings. This discovery and many more are revealed in bits and pieces, in lessons that can make the reader’s life a much richer, much more meaningful, and much happier experience!
