Born in a Meadow is a book of memories of a boy determined to prove to himself that being handicapped was not an excuse for giving up on high aspirations.

During his life, he had three careers; music, stock brokerage, and international business, and he excelled in all three.

He traveled in thirty countries, had friends on six continents, flew airplanes and gliders, and raced in sailboats.

He detested racism and didn't react to the skin color, facial characteristics, or religious beliefs of the people he met. They were simply human beings and, perhaps, potential close friends.

The book is filled with warm humor, some suspense, and a little sadness, and closes with the author's advice for a better world.
