This memoir of the life of Harold Kolenbrander begins with his earliest days and continues through today - a chronicle of his personal and professional life as it unfolded. Harold's story is one of joy and gratitude for all the people who have been so important in his life - his family, friends (both personal and professional), and his mentors. It is a happy story, celebrating all the joys and blessings of life. While its primary focus is on Harold's life in the academy, it includes his forays into woodworking - including making toys for his grandchildren - and the world of amateur (ham) radio that has been a part of his life since age 15.
