Golden Memories of My Life With Ruth & Sam: My Wonderful "Grand" Parents

"Golden Memories of My Life with Ruth and Sam" sheds light on the traditional virtues of respect and self-reliance, lamenting the decline of such values due to modern liberalism. The author credits his grandparents, embodying the pioneer spirit, with instilling in him the importance of character. Critiquing the current "give me" voting mentality and the lack of genuine character in politics, the book warns against the erosion of national greatness. It serves as both a tribute to the author's grandparents and a guide for parents wishing to raise respectable individuals in today's world.

About the Author: Joe Callihan
Author Joe Callihan reveals the mighty blessing he received when at the age of one, his grandparents on his mother's side began to raise him. Joe's parents being divorced, and neither wished to be tied down by a kid, his loving grandparents stepped in and agreed to raise Joe; several years later becoming his legal guardians.

How blessed this event was to Joe's life. He was raised to have character, not to be a character (as are so many today). Joe was raised to develop and revere the signs of character, such as courage, integrity, self respect, compassion, and the ability to never permit any bully to destroy his self confidence, self worth, and self reliance. He was taught to become a good Irish-Kentuckian. By this, he was never to attempt to be a bully. But, if any bully were dumb enough to pick a fight with him; he must not walk away until he found out who won the fight.

Although Joe lovingly called his parents by their first name, Ruth and Sam; he did so with only true love and the greatest of respect. Both Ruth and Sam were truly remarkable people. They were the kind of people having the good old frontier spirit of self reliance, self respect, and solid backbone.

The reader is sure to become entranced, as they read of the life encounters these two wonderful people had, before, during, and after raising Joe Callihan into manhood. The many true stories contained in Joe's books, Adventures in Navyland, The Adventures of "Dirty Joe" Callihan, and its sequel, Further Adventures of "Dirty Joe" Callihan, all serve as proof of the remarkable training to be a man, which Joe received from his "Grand" Parents. As the title of this book declares, Joe's memories are Golden.

May you enjoy getting to know these two amazing people, as you partake in reading: Golden Memories of My Life with Ruth and Sam.
Golden Memories of My Life with Ruth and Sam offers insight into the kind of training into manhood; which sadly today, due to liberalism, is lacking in many lives of the unfortunate. Both of my grandparents were of the old school, pioneer spirit. They taught me to have respect for those who earn my respect by their quality of character. Also to earn my own self respect, due to my placing value upon the qualities of character I desire to possess.

Self reliance is missing in the lives of those voting with an attitude of "give me;" and self respect gets thrown out of the window by those lacking in character. Worse yet, many today vote for politicians which are characters, rather than demanding they HAVE character. As the result, many people in America have been ignorantly flushing America down the toilet of history's once great nations.

How very blessed I was to have the upbringing I received. This book contains not only the story of two extraordinary people. It offers a very good guide for parents of today, who desire to see their children grow into respectable men and women.
