A delightful collection of warm, humorous, and authentic stories. The author, Ritchey Marbury, brings anecdotes that delight and entertain the reader. I don't think he ever met a person he didn't like. Truth is stranger than fiction, and this wonderful collection of experiences by a veteran surveying engineer, is both a fun and joy to read. I recommend it without reservation.

The human warmth and deep morality of the author (and his father) overflows on every page. I had a ball reading this book and feel I'm a better man for having done so.
Cliff Clive
Reminds me of my 50 plus years of surveying. Would not exchange experience for anything I can think of. Excellent Book
Pogo
From page to page, an inspired book that lights aspirations, memories of family, friends, love, and life to all who open its pages. I won’t likely put this book on a shelf for a long time. I’ll leave it out so I find it every day, and on those days I stop to open it, I know I will always find a Friend.
