Description

"I'm Still Here!" - Yes, Jean Beyer, at 90 years old, is still here, writing his weekly column for The Lexington News. In this third and final book for, The Way I See It, readers will enjoy another collection of Jean's entertaining stories featured in the newspaper.
Jean, a natural storyteller, shares his humorous perspective with stories about his nemesis in the U.S. Army, 'Colonel K,' encounters with President Truman, drunk customers, an auto accident in the oddest of places, struggles with changing a light bulb (and other home-maintenance tasks), thoughts and lessons on life, the perfect anniversary gift, and more.
Some of Jean's personal experiences stem from his various careers, such as; a cab driver, salesman for a pharmaceutical company, window decorator, restaurant manager of the Golden Ox in Kansas City, Senior Army ROTC Officer in the Kansas City School District, MU faculty, U.S. Army Ranger, and many others. Jean's eclectic resume is matched only by the number of places he has lived. As a child, Jean's feet were never allowed to take root in a town for long. He has lived in forty-one houses in five countries and spent extended time in eight other nations.
Jean is a true patriot and never takes for granted the freedoms he and his brethren fought to protect. His love for our country and our flag is unwavering, as is his love of the place he finally found his 'sense of permanence,' Lexington, Missouri, or, as he calls it, "River City."
