Come on in and share in the full history of a displaced, but not misplaced, rebel. David Martin Davis was born and reared in North Carolina, migrated to Ohio after World War II and lives peaceably among the Yankees of Springfield. He enjoyed, and you can enjoy, five professions--visual communication engineer, artist, writer, editor and publisher--and three careers, practicing in the United States Air Force (secrets and all); the Springfield, Ohio Art Center, curator and publicist; and Graphic Paper Products Corporation, producer of study aids for high school and college.This is mainly a book for children--his. And for you and yours also, if you share in the idea of the main true story, that hard work and dedication are their own reward. Also included are vignettes of people important in his life and memories that have persisted. Ups and downs are part of everyone’s life, as well as spans of time that are neither, but the ordinary tenor of things. In the bad parts there is only one way to survive--keep your head down and keep digging. Simply, the absence of the bad boosts most of the rest of life to a pleasant plateau. 3
