FROM BOY SLAVE TO RICHES – III Part

After 5 1/2 years in the Army - two of which in Heidelberg Germany - and an honorable discharge, I started in civilian life as an editor with a division of McGraw-Hill Book Co. in Monterey, Calif. I made about $375 p. month. In about eight years I was promoted from editor to Production Manager, then to Director of Manufacturing. I loved the work, but had to quit in my thirties because of serious physical problems; leftovers from the Japanese concentration camps.

I had not yet found any gold in the streets and had no financial success story to tell.

Then I received an offer from Howard Ruff for a one-day abbreviated seminar in San Diego. We paid the $45 fee and I listened very carefully. I also bought his book, Nothing Down. Believe me, I studied that book very thoroughly!

From then on, it was all down-hill. Our son became a contractor, and in time, we owned and remodeled some 22 properties. I had a great time making more money in a few months than I made in a year as an executive at McGraw-Hill! We even had time to enjoy our favorite sport: sailing our 2' yacht off the coast of California.

The WW II story which is explained in the book of World War II is mostly filled with lot of suffering aspects, but we should take it as inspiring ones. The Japanese death camps in Ambarawa were horrible. The death camp slaves suffered a lot in the Indonesian death camps. This WWII story is explained through a kid’s viewWWII by Mr. Ralph Brink.
