R. Duane Seaman was a Project Supervisor on the APOLLO 'MOONSHOT' PROGRAM. One section of the book addresses his experiences in that capacity. He left the Space Program after Apollo 11 reached the moon and formed Houston based AIM Financial Systems Group, Inc. He retired twenty eight years later in 1998 as President and CEO and returned to his roots in Independence, MO where he now resides. The book has several genres including Duane’s POETRY, MEMORIES, REFLECTIONS and OBSERVATIONS. As mentioned, one section deals with being involved in the Apollo Program. Although he was no longer involved in the Space Program at the time, in 2003 he challenged early reports of the Columbia Shuttle disaster the day after and was later vindicated by revised reports a year later. All of which is covered herein. His MEMORIES include the hardship he and his family endured Growing Up During the Great Depression and World War Two. They include his experiences during those years as a series of Short Stories. He has also included his only attempt at fiction. A short story with a bizarre ending entitled 'Uncle Henry' His REFLECTIONS include those about Himself, Religion, Meaning, Expectations, People, The Iraq War, China and the ENIAC Computer. His OBSERVATIONS include Unusual Sayings and Songs, Things of Interest (though not his own) Idioms he has heard during his life and a Gee Whiz section. It includes the bizarre, the crazy, the extraordinary, the seemingly impossible, and in some cases - the outrageous. The book is highly recommended for the older reader who would like to reminisce or for those younger readers interested in what their parents went through during unbelievably difficult times.
