LIVE IN PEACE AS BROTHERS AND SISTERS BY CHRISTMAS EVE, OR THERE WILL BE NO CHRISTMAS MORNING. END ALL DEATH AND DESTRUCTION, AND DESTROY ALL WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION.
Although Bob's mother, Nora, asked him to become a mentor and role model for Eddie, (me), he realized he was far from being one. Still, he advised Eddie to be responsible for his own actions and refused to intervene in his many altercations. Bob had become a happy-go-lucky individual along with his brother Arnold. When luck pulled the strings on his future, he met a sweet, young teacher, who became his tutor, when he was forced to run away from home due to Dad's unreasonable actions. His story follows him through Civilian Conservation Corp., work, and joining the navy in service to his country. The South Pacific Theater (including the battle of Iwo Jima) became his biggest battleground (ferrying troops on LST's or Landing Ship Tanks). Life became all about adages like: Hate the sin, love the sinner (Ed's way of looking at Bob). Spare the rod and spoil the child; Dad's way of looking at EVERYTHING!!

Be content with your wages- not about money at all, but being satisfied with your lot in life. He certainly was not a union man, looking for more and more money, without increasing production.

There have been relatively few comprehensive studies made of the rivers of Florida. There is, to be sure, voluminous information that addresses various aspects of riverine ecology. However, little such information has been collected in a way that allows even a preliminary understanding of the driving forces that determine how the diverse freshwater and associated brackish systems function. This lack of useful data is the product of a fundamental ignorance concerning the scale of endeavor, both spatially and temporally, that is needed if we are to understand and, parenthetically, manage the major drainage systems of this area of the country (Livingston, 1987). Research used to address management problems should entail a continuous series of interrelated studies, descriptive and experimental, that answer the immediate (and often less important) questions that are asked on a day-to-day basis. The research should also be designed to answer questions that have not yet been asked. In other words, ecosystem research should be organized on an appropriate scale so that system-wide processes are understood and pr
