To a Swell Guy
About the life of Lawrence D. Bradley, Jr.His youth and home life ended when his mother died when he was thirteen years old. Three months later his father married a young woman and he escaped to a boarding school. There he learned his strengths. He returned home to attend public high school where he applied his strengths with determination to achieve success. He was infatuated with the sea and so the United States Coast Guard Academy was a natural next step. During his senior year at the Academy the United States declared war on Japan and Germany and that launched his naval career.Three years after the war the United States Coast Guard nearly had him but he was determined instead to begin a law career as a civilian. He molded the universe around himself that was exactly as he intended it to be.The stories he told his children about his adventures during World War 2 are the core of this book.
