The true story of the life of a rural funeral director from birth to professional success to failure in multiple marriages Everyone who lives sixty-six plus years has a story to tell. This is mine! My parents lived during an important and difficult period in the history of our country. The Great Depression changed people and changed the way they worked and raised their families. My Daddy worked hard and raised his children to work hard. This is my story of how I grew up under my parents' notions and ideas and how I was blessed to know at an early age what direction my life would take professionally and how that carried me through my entire life. I have tried to portray some of those individuals honestly and give a true accounting of how each and every one of them affected me and my life. My life was not perfect-far from it. I made a lot of mistakes along the way and I have admitted them (well some of them). There were funny events, events that didn't seem funny at the time, but I reflect on them and can now see the humor. I had a lot of success and watched what I had worked so hard to achieve get ripped apart and taken down. My personal life has been rocky at times, but by the grace of God and those people on Earth who believed in me, I came through it all. I have written this book as an accounting of my birth, my childhood, and how I became a funeral director, a father, and a husband (five times).

The history of infrared applications is covered from its discovery by William Herschel through its development in Germany until its use in, among other things, finding the Boston bomber. Some forty different subjects are described historically including optical design, microscopes, cameras, spectacles, military, medical and fiber optics and lasers.

Basketball at the Little Big Horn: A 1957 Success Story tells the incredible story of Larry Pretty Weasel’s accomplishments on the basketball court and the expanding integration of a Montanan school system inspired by his athletic achievements. It is also, in part, the story of Steven E. Dyche, whose athletic career spiraled downward as Larry’s whizzed upwards. The Hardin Bulldog basketball team of 1956-1957 was the first Hardin team to start three Native Americans and two whites. Lead by Larry Pretty Weasel, the basketball team’s astounding success united Native Americans and whites both on the court and off. Hardin basketball fans still measure upcoming roundball phenoms against Larry’s accomplishments. He was the greatest, and there will never be another like him. Basketball at the Little Big Horn recounts the shifting attitudes in Big Horn County in 1957 and the Native American boy who helped inspire their change.

In any good sermon, the “word” has to “take flesh,” or it remains a mere ideology. In Reflections for Daily Living, Rev. Fr. Jude Thaddeus Ikenna Osunkwo seeks to satisfy the ultimate goal of a good sermon, which should be to lead people into a loving and intimate relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, a relationship that forms the character of their persons; to help people see the sermon’s connections with daily life; and to guide people in living out their Christian faith. In Reflections for Daily Living, Fr. Osunkwo has applied and juxtaposed the four major traditional senses of interpreting the Sacred Scripture that are available to preachers: the Literal or Historical Sense, or the intended meaning by the biblical author; the Allegorical Sense, such as reading into biblical events and symbols like the Red Sea and baptism; the Moral Sense, which is how scripture guides us to act justly; and the Anagogical Sense that relates biblical events and symbols to eternal destiny. Reflections for Daily Living aims to illumine the human mind, touch the human heart, and influence human actions positively.

Potters believe the image or sculpture already exists in the clay they mold. Their hands bring to life what is already present. The person each of us is called to be in life is within us from birth waiting to be sculpted by the Master’s hands. The Molding of Me is a journey of a young girl through coming of age with parents who are emotionally and spiritually absent. She discovers, early in childhood, the inner light of the Master that guides her through her darkest days and finds happiness where most people could not imagine. We all have this light within each and every one of us. If we set aside our egos and become in tune with the Master, we can come into our ultimate selves. Life can be an amazing and joyful journey in the molding of you and me!
