The Day the Sun Rose in the West (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781664206205)

The author, Harold Clements, is eighty-eight years old and has wanted to write this book for the last forty years. He is a Christian husband, married sixty-five years to the love of his life, a father (dad) of five, grandfather of fourteen, and great-grandfather of six (so far!). Born to a Christian family, there has always been singing in his family, his wife's family, their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren's lives. The author has a sense of humor, stories of answers to prayer, and near-death experiences. The experiences of his father and his span nearly a century of farming (the twentieth-century). The author feels fortunate that he lived in a century where he could still experience the "American Dream" because he started working in the small plant of Carefree, with only seven employees, worked his way up to director of purchasing, helped the company grow to over 500 employees, and was general manager for over fifteen years before his retirement. Also, upon so-called retirement, he sold and installed thousands of vinyl replacement windows. The author helped set the National Window Standards for vinyl windows and all styles of windows. The author, always active in sports and healthy eating habits has helped keep this old man alive and well. For instance, after retiring, he joined the Polk County Senior Olympics and competed in the 50 and 100-meter dashes between the ages of 65-77. The author, from the "old-school" way of life, is still proudly representing Jesus, the American flag, God, and country.
