In "Staring Down A Hundred Years", retired Naval Commander John P. Derr's observations are culled from both life on the high seas and many places on Earth, all beginning from a rural lifestyle on a farm in north Idaho.
His views on a variety of subjects include reading for self-improvement, significance of the number five, and hurricane storm protection, among other interesting notes. He also provides worthwhile advice; among his tips for better living: If one is not prepared to be wrong, then never say anything.
Enjoy this collection of souvenirs, musings and reflections from a 96-year old world traveler who has "been there and done that."
