Lyla is author Bob Fields 11 month old great granddaughter. Inspired by her birth, he set out to introduce himself to her through stories, not of his successes in the military or the business worlds, but rather, in his own childhood where the foundations of his character were formulated. At age 12, Lyla, when presented with this unique legacy, will come to know the boy and understand the man he became. The author has transformed his letters to his great granddaughter into chapters and takes readers on a guided tour of his early life. His stories describe family life, playing with friends, sports, unusual adventures, and aspects of the town of Houlton where he grew up in northern Maine. Readers will come to know the boy as a risk-taking, fun-loving, carefree, imaginative youngster. They will also discover major differences between their culture and Bob's way of life in the 1940s

Bob Fields posseses an exceptional talent for translating his broadly based life experiences to the written page. A veteran of two wars (three if you count Wall Street), his early hard scrabble life taught him real life lessons; the application of which propelled his success in a military career and numerous business ventures. Upon retirement from the Air Force he entered the business world as a specialist in communications startup companies. During this period he, his wife, 2 daughters, and a son operated a nationally known Quarter Horse training and breeding facility at their farm in Westernville, New York. A friend once described him as part Cowboy, part Dreamer, Part Entrepreneur. It is the sum of these experiences that marinate in the nether reaches of his brain and urges release. That's why he writes. Bob lives with his wife of 60 years, Janice, in the 1809 home they restored in a 15 year span beginning in 1963.
