As a young enlisted man, Randy Kington served on the front line with some of the first Marine combat units in Vietnam in 1965 and â€™66. Kington describes his transformation from boy to man and the training that allowed him to survive nine months of some of the fiercest fighting of the Vietnam War. The good times of comradeship and of helping the underprivileged are contrasted with the life-and-death experiences that involved three major battles, countless ambushes, and search and destroy missions. On March 21, 1966, during what former Commandant of the Marine Corps General PX Kelley described as the most intense three hours of the Vietnam War, Randy received a horrific wound. He recounts the nine grueling months of hospitalization and rehabilitation. The final chapter tells of his adjustment to life in a wheelchair and the many people who played a part in his achievements.

Would such an offer include respect and love that she desperately desires, or will Beverly fall again?

This book is the highly personal account of the triumphs, defeats, dirty politics and ultimate success that the author endured and enjoyed during the 13 years that it took him to accomplish the Lunar Prospector Mission. Like the mission, the books purpose is to expose to the America taxpayer the incompetence and self-serving activities of the NASA bureaucracy and the big aerospace companies, which together waste a large fraction of the $13 billion NASA receives from the federal government yearly, and to show that when missions are properly conceived and managed as a commercial venture, the cost of space exploration can be cut by a factor of 10. This book is meant to have a major impact on the future of the faltering American space program by helping to change it into an efficient, commercially based/profit driven program instead of a federal government handout program for the big aerospace companies. This is a 2-Volume Set. Books cannot be purchased separately. Volume One: ISBN 1-4137-0988-5, 673 pages. Volume Two: ISBN 1-4137-2479-5, 668 pages

Oh, what a difference a year makes! Especially when it’s your high school senior year and you think that most of it will come off without a hitch. That’s what Mark thought. Saint Hedwig’s big man on campus, who was about to set sail on a ride that few people experience in a lifetime, let alone at this stretch in their lives.From the tragic death of his best friend to the discovery of the girl of his dreams, hang on for one incredible ride that leads to heartaches, hi-jinx, deception, creative escapes, mind-blowing circumstances, euphoria, disappointment and one hell of an epic battle with “destiny and its source.”You’ll be introduced to characters with attitudes and be amazed to witness how attitudes shape character. From nuns who gamble, teach “bookie” math and take extortion to a deliciously new level, to all types of parochial phenomenons, experience events and happenstance that will make you blush, cry, smile and double-up in laughter, in a real-life saga that will require a couple boxes of tissues, to help you deal with all of the excrements that your body will go through.And along the way, don’t be surprised if you’re asked to bring doughnuts ….

Leaving No Child Behind: My First Year Teaching in New York City

Fields, Emily A.

When a fledgling athlete “takes off” into the world of youth sports it may very well be uncharted territory for the parents, as well as for the child. The author’s objective is to make parents aware of certain issues, in advance, so they are better prepared to address them when they occur. Most obstacles can be overcome and there are great benefits in store for a child who participates in youth sports programs. Participation and fun should be key ingredients for those at the lower grade levels. Mohney’s ideas and suggestions will help parents and young athletes alike traverse what may often be a bumpy road. Many of his real life occurrences, stories, and quotes will also provide comfort to those involved and some may seem eerily familiar to the reader. Today’s news stories report that adults are ruining youth sports. The ideas in this work may help put FUN back into it for the children!
