On September 6th, 1938, at the Red Brick Hospital in Santa Monica, California, Bruce Gordon Heady entered the world. In this highly entertaining memoir, Bruce reminisces about his life and the experiences that made it memorable. Growing up in Southern California during World War II, Bruce witnessed the vast changes taking place in America through the middle of the twentieth century. As Bruce grew into a young man, his desire for adventure and respect for nature continued to grow, leading him on many trips across the United States, camping in national parks, horse-back riding, and taking pack mules up treacherous mountains. From the rough-and-tumble days of his youth, getting into mischief and drag racing his beloved cars, to having a successful career as a truck driver, to becoming a proud father and grandfather, Bruce Heady’s is a life well lived.
