Monumental Moments

De: Joe R Eagleman

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

A person's life is composed of many ordinary days with a few significant and monumental moments mixed in. This book is about the separate monumental moments that I have experienced. One of these was "flying" out a nine foot window when I was only eight years old. I attended a one room grade school and was disciplined by being made to chew tobacco. I am the 11th of 12 children and was told by an older brother that I would never amount to anything when I was preschool age and I promptly bit him on his arm. I wrecked a tractor in fourth gear on a gravel road when I was 10. I took a taxidermy course when I was in third grade. I was told by my Rifle Team coach in college that I should practice for the Olympics. I invented a tornado that was copied by Universal Studios and the Exploratium. I had a research project on Skylab. I was knocked unconscious by electricity. I have written books, made guitars, mounted many different birds and animals, composed and recorded musical albums and passed out at the top of the Spanish Steps. Reading about the monumental moments in my life may help you recognize and appreciate those special moments in your life.
