Truth & Freedom A Match Made In Heaven: Antivirus Protection for Your Cranial Computer (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780615837482)

Les Huntley is one of those unusual people who having no concept of their limitations often succeed in areas where they have no training. As a young man he noticed the local builder was a man who spent his evenings in the bars and his days fighting hangovers and decided if such a man could build houses, he could too. Starting with nothing but an idea, he proceeded to build a three bedroom ranch from scratch, from plans to completion, a building that continues to provide housing more than 50 years later. Being employed with the National Bureau of Standards with new BS-Physics in hand, he was soon assigned a task then thought to be impossible, developing a way to reliably measure resistance at high frequencies. Being unaware of the many reasons why that could not be done, he soon recognized an existing instrument could be adapted for the purpose, producing an instrument used continuously in NBS calibration services until replaced by a computerized alternative some 40 years later, and resulting in his first published paper. After retiring at the end of his 30+ years as an electrical measurements specialist, he continued to provide consulting services in the discipline. When health issues led him to realize he was no longer reliably serving his clients, he closed the business and began to search for other challenges to occupy his mind. The idea of writing and publishing books and articles appealed to him, and it did not take long for him to realize the publishing industry would not be receptive to his offerings. At age 80, he found himself questioning the wisdom of going into the publishing business himself. Did it really make sense for an 80 year old to invest time, money and effort in such an enterprise? Again, typically unaware of the challenges facing him, he decided it was far better to die doing something he loved than to sit around waiting for death and wishing he had tried it. Encouraged by the fact that Moses was 80 when God called him to rescue Israel from Egypt, and that Sarah was 90 when she bore her first child, he established Intermountain North Publishing to publish books he and others had written. "Truth &Freedom A Match Made in Heaven" is the second Intermountain North Publishing offering. The first was "A Nice Car, A Good Woman, A Little Fun Every Day", a nice little collection of stories about growing up in the 1920s and 1930s, co-authored by a 101 year old friend and his 97 year old wife. Both are available on Amazon and CreateSpace.
