About the Author

Jack Westmoreland, now busily retired from the corporate world has enjoyed an interesting and varied life, working with three major corporations and encompassing management/executive experience, i.e. human resources, finance, management development, training, community/public relations.  Yet he can still remember twice when he worked in janitorial positions.

Old enough to remember radio-in-the-home powered by battery, Roosevelt via radio, December 7, 1941, Victory Day, the first TV in town, being able to hitchhike, drafted in the Army (Korean War), and John Glenn’s first space flight.  And then with rocket speed, I watched life become unfolded with amazing symbols of progress, i.e. noise, smog, litter, computers and other modern marvels.  Before reading very far in this book, you will feel as though you know the author.  If he causes you to laugh, ponder or cry, just know that he is doing the same.

Jack enjoys reading and writing.  Published materials include newspaper columns, three short stories and one co-authored college textbook, “Management Information Systems Instructor’s Manuel,” (Prentice-Hall).  He has done extensive public speaking and has also written numerous greeting cards.

His writing experience is also varied, i.e. college textbook, extensive free-lance writing,  all types of greeting cards, a few short stories and numerous newspaper columns.  Jack loves to write but admits to being a slow writer.  He only recently purchased a computer but still prefers writing with his left hand on lined pads.

Jack is a “communicator” who impresses individuals or large groups as being sincere, dedicated and always with a natural style.  Above all, the zeal of the Lord is apparent in all he does.  He definitely knows how to touch the reader and “italicize” thoughts of the heart and soul.

Jack and Helen (wife of 49 years…still expecting first child) live in Pawley's Island, SC and Hartsville, SC, where he has virtually become a full time writer.  But, according to Helen, he still “dabbles” in a lot of things.

After a few pages the readers will find that they feel as though they know Jack and thus are easily "sharing” with him, which is exactly what he wanted to happen.
