One Man's Message

by Alfred Hudson McDonald

Overview

This book is written in three sections. As a young man Hudson had a remote upbringing while living in a railroad house where his father was bridge tender. He is surrounded by sawmills, launch services and tug boats. Many young and adolescent experiences (more than most) are encountered. His military career carries him abroad to work on secret combat developments where he meets dignitaries, works with foreign allies and faces combat in Vietnam. As an engineer, he transcends several careers to include city and county governments, as well as, construction and consulting. The book concludes with local interests spanning the past thirty years.

There is an unrecognized thread throughout the book. The author finally realizes God has a plan for his life; although he wants to go in one direction, he is pulled in another. His life becomes his story with a profound inspirational message.
