My Story: The Incredible First Seventy-Eight Years Jerome Smith's autobiography covers the life of a boy who had a very humble beginning in rural North Dakota. It follows him from early childhood, telling of his very exciting and fruitful life, as well as his fulfilling career. With the wonderful and dedicated help of his wife and a few other influential folks along the way, he succeeded where less inspired and less fortunate people would have failed. His long-sought-after career in wildlife management led to Jerome traveling to many destinations around the world, and produced an abundance of satisfying accomplishments in the enforcement of wildlife laws. The most important accomplishment of his life, however, was marrying his high school sweetheart, and enjoying more than fifty-six years of love and happiness. Their marriage produced three wonderful daughters and four fabulous grandchildren. And when it comes down to it that is what's really important in life. "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." - William Edward Hickson Now retired and living in Tyler, Texas, Jerome Smith was born in Van Hook, North Dakota, a small farming town that was flooded by a dam build on the Missouri River in the 1940s. His home town no longer exists. He wrote this memoir so his family and others can learn about a life well lived. This is his first book.
