"If ever anyone exempli ed what it is meant by the 'purpose-driven life' it is surely
professional Economist/academic administrator/imaginative artist and world citizen
Richard Ward. In an era of moral laxity, Ward's compelling autobiographical narrative
illustrates how service to the greater communitya community that extends quite
literally to the furthest reaches of the globecan provide intellectual, material, and
even spiritual rewards to which most of us aspire. Having worn more hats than a
haberdasher's mannequinin government, industry and academeRich Ward has
do ed o cial headgear in favor of less formal garb as a writer of award winning
memoirs and highly praised crafter of doodles. By the end of this account in which his
memories and images come to life, we know his current dungarees will be worn well
and well-worn before he reaches the Pearly Gates!"
