The Sojourners Volume 1
The United States was just beginning to emerge from the Great Depression of 1930’s when war began to rage in Europe. The United States at this time was not an active participant in the war. However, the U.S. was shipping war materials to England and Russia to aid their effort. The draft to conscript for the service had been initiated in order to develop a state of readiness in the event the U.S. would enter the European War. It was against this backdrop that the Imperial Japanese Navy, allies of Hitler’s Germany, made a surprise attack on the American Fleet at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on December 7, 1941. This single act mobilized the entire nation to build the military forces that would defeat the enemy in Europe and in the Pacific.
The story is about that mobilization and it is developed around one eight-year-old boy and his family as they are forced to move from the rural south into the industrial northeast. The boy becomes a witness to the history that develops daily. He, along with the boys from other families also forced to move to the region, have many adventures as they assimilate into the new community. During this time of shortages and rationing they must improvise in order to try to lead a normal life without the standard accoutrements of their age group. In their desire to live and grow they become ensnarled in many situations that illustrate the temperament and values of the time.
The story hearkens back to a much more innocent and simple time. The historical content is complemented by the humorous activities and behavior of the young boys and their relationship to the adults of that era.

The Solution: Repairing Our Broken Political System
Our current political system puts too much power into the hands of the few and often produces results that don’t work. The Solution proposes a plan that restricts the size and scope of the federal government while increasing the direct influence of the people. The goal is to make government simpler with full public accountability.
The book is divided into four sections. Two sections describe the various reasons why big government programs don’t work and refute the reasons often cited for why they should. Parts three and four propose my notion of a fix to the political system: first, a number of constitutional amendments aimed at making government function similar to what the founders intended and yet are more modern and, second, policy recommendations that repair and replace nonfunctional programs and deal with a number of existing political and social issues.

The Story of the Jewellers’ Sales Training Program
The objective of The Jewelers Sales Training Program is to develop outstanding retail jewelry sales personnel. The program was produced as the result of extensive research that involved some of the most outstanding retail jewelry store- owners, managers, executives and retail sales professionals in the country. The research that began in 1975 is still ongoing and the discoveries it produces are constantly used to update the program by its chief author Dr. William Colbert, a learning specialist and former jewelry store-owner for many years. Three-areas of emphasis are identified by Dr. Colbert and his associates. These include (1) Positive customer interaction, (2) Understanding the selling process, and (3) Using product knowledge in the sales transaction. The electronic coaching feature included with the program makes certain the manager or designated store trainer using the program has help using the program on a 24/7 basis via e-mail, telephone or many of the other technologies available today. The coaching feature keeps the program developers and the retailers in constant touch. This close association provides the basis for the constant improvement of the program—through the identification of new training needs and new exciting sales promotion ideas. The format of the program provides for the diagnosis of the needs of the sales group, active participation of the sales group, problem-solving opportunities based on their store, and many opportunities for turning training sessions into new sales promotions.”
