Tramping to Success

Surviving through the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl years; prospering in business through determination and fortuitous choices; finding--and almost losing--a woman whose abilities, education and social knowledge provided the perfect complement to this Kansas farm-boy; traveling to every continent; reflecting on achievements and perceived failures--"The Life & Times of Jon B. Shastid" is a personal journey which mirrors the tribulations and successes of America in the 1900's. And is emblematic of what can be achieved in the 21st century.
