'Ken Green, it seems you’re always stepping in dog poo.'That’s what a friend once told Ken Green, thus planting the seed for the title of a book Green would write six decades later.As a bored college dropout working as a gardener, Green heard a tremendous roar and saw two Navy planes doing aileron rolls as they passed overhead. 'Oh, My God! That looks like fun!' he exclaimed, momentarily dropping his shovel. That brief display started Green on an exciting 60 years of good, bad, and funny-but exciting-adventures where some days, he’d step in high clover, while on others, he’d step in dog poo.Still lively at age 83, Green shares his incredible adventures, funny missteps, and bizarre experiences in a humorous way that has the reader traveling alongside as he crisscrosses the country, reinventing himself a dozen times.Join Green as he becomes a 20-year-old Navy student pilot lost over the ocean at night while low on fuel, a roadhouse bouncer, radio announcer, Associated Press political writer, IBM manager, department head of a Volkswagen subsidiary, a deep-in-debt real estate investor who digs himself out of a bad place, head of his own public relations and marketing agency serving several corporate clients, spokesman for an international bank and for The Walt Disney Company, a dog rescuer, animal shelter volunteer, author and business coach. Think Tom Sawyer on steroids -E. F. Thomas, Jr.Bite size adventures you can’t help but enjoy and keep on reading-Al Russell
