Description
From the time he was a young boy, John S. Mickman was enlisted by his family to help in the small businesses his entrepreneurial father operated—often by the seat of his pants. From dying lambs for Easter to corralling wild Mexican burros for rides at the fair to loading hundreds of wreaths for sale every Christmas season, there was never a dull moment, and John and his brothers learned the rewards of hard work and the thrills of adventure. In fact, where their father was concerned, the hard work often was a thrilling adventure!
Labors of Love: Tales of a Young Man’s Journeys and the Lessons Learned Along the Way are the stories of John’s early life, working alongside his family as a boy; venturing out after college to fish the waters of the North Pacific and Bering Sea; and returning home to grow a new family business as a husband and father, realizing the lessons he’d learned: the value of a strong work ethic, the importance of living a purposeful life, and the merit of taking calculated risks. Readers of all ages will be charmed and changed by the humor, heart, and soul found in these pages.
