I have toyed and struggled with the thought of compiling this book for a long time; almost 35 years, in fact. Since graduating from West Point in 1974, I have visited over forty countries in my military and business career. Everywhere Ive been I have looked for articles or stories that I could include in this book. Many short stories came from friends and sources marked -Unknown. This book is dedicated to young people everywhere and written for their benefit. I realize that many young people today would rather buy a CD or DVD rather than a guidebook or an owners manual- a book about how to improve their lives from just an average Joe. Some young people will only get this book if a parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle or probation officer gives it to them as a gift. I hope it is a gift worth keeping and sharing. Today, young people struggle with finding good examples of role models. My first role model was David Cortez while attending Rhodes Junior High School in San Antonio, Texas. David was a ninth grader and our Student Council President. He helped me with my successful political campaign to be the next Student Council Secretary. I thought David walked on water. David came from a strong family. He was smart, athletic, and good-looking. He had a beautiful girlfriend. Davids story has a sad ending. He went on to Jefferson High, where he also excelled. He married his girlfriend- the girl of his dreams. A few years later, she tragically died in a car accident. Not much later in life, David, still a widower, died of a mysterious illness, leaving behind two young daughters. Parents should be their own kids role models, but sometimes we, too, fall short of setting the good example for our kids. Parents lose credibility and respect because, from their kids perspective, it seems like we were never young and rebellious. HELLO!!! We were. It is hard to believe, but we were and it was tough back then, too. It may actually be harder now in many ways- more distractions, more toys, more peer pressure, more drugs, more gang violence, more graffiti, more sexual promiscuity, more TV, more video games and cyberspace but less family interaction and influence. Teachers, who genuinely care about their students future success, are also rare. Teachers can be excellent role models and I applaud anyone who goes into this most honorable profession. In the business world, prudence is ignored and now takes a backseat to personal gain at any cost, recklessness, corruption and greed in some of our largest banks and corporations. In politics, the candidates tell the electorate whats popular rhetoric: who can be against better healthcare for all, better education for our children, and a strong defense. Once elected or defeated they find it difficult to work with the opposition for the benefit of our communities and nation. Todays politicians are no longer statesmen but socialists bent on ridiculous spending programs and bailouts of mismanaged banks, companies and corrupt governments around the world at an exorbitant cost to American taxpayers. Having said all this, I am still optimistic about our country and about many of our youth and their positive impact on our society and our world. I wish I could say that I am optimistic about all of them, but unfortunately, it will be just a few of them that will make a difference. But these few will be the leaders of tomorrow, the peacemakers, the inventors, the farmers, the space explorers, the scientists, the teachers and the caregivers that will make all the difference in our world. Their answers to our worlds problems and challenges will come from within- from a strong sense of leadership, character and responsibility, self-discipline; and respect for self, the unborn, the elderly, religious freedoms, strong families, authority and the environment.

It was a chilly night as I made my way to bed. Bev was already sleeping and before long, my eyes closed and my brain and body were very relaxed. It was 3:00 AM, when my eyes popped open from a dead sleep, thoughts were running through my head, like a river running to the ocean. What am I going to do now, retirement has struck like a five-pound hammer hitting a nail with the force of a hurricane. I sat up, legs dangling over the edge of the bed, stories and thoughts started to flow through my head, happy, sad and funny just a mix mash of everything, life flashing before my eyes. I laid back down tried to go back to sleep, and before I could enter that blissful state of hibernation for the second time, I thought you have had a good life, years full of happiness, tears, and adventures. I woke early and realized I was heading to my 67th year. Grabbed a coffee, sat down and cleared the cobwebs from my brain. Thinking, I should put some of my thoughts down on paper, before age makes them fade into oblivion. Why would one enter such a daunting task, keep the history and stories alive, more for my kids, relatives, and friends than anything else? As a result, "Tony's Joe" Just an Average Joe came to be. Tony's Joe was a nickname that was used throughout my childhood. It was used to distinguish me from my other cousins at the time, Raymond's Joe and Nicks Joe. Volume 1 covers a period when my Grandparents immigrated to Canada, my parents met and were married, I was born, and then got married in November 1971. It is a collection of stories and facts loosely based on my life. Taking literary advantage to create a more memorable experience for the readers. Volumes two and three will continue with my life from November 1971 onward. "Tony's Joe" Just an Average Joe is a story of a man's ventures that start's with some family history. My story starts in Italy and Sweden with my grandparents, finally to the Twin Cities, Fort William, and Port Arthur, Ontario on the head of Lake Superior. It chronicles Joe's early life as he grew up in and around Port Arthur and Fort William, now known as Thunder Bay. Life experiences, travel's and adventures are told through different tales, from my memories and the memories, of people, I have met and touched over the years.

Joe was just your average, ordinary guy. He always knew that he was one lucky individual to having had beat the odds of being born in the greatest country on the planet. Out of the more than 30 million births, in the year of Joe, only 4 million were fortunate to have been born in America and, thank God, half of them were girls. Joe came to learn that he lived in the home of the free because of the brave that came before him, like his hard-charging Marine Corps Dad. He greatly appreciated that the Constitution of the United States afforded him certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. He fully understood that this happiness was not a guarantee but he was welcome to pursue it. Joe grew up with an All-American work ethic that promised: if you rolled up your sleeves and worked hard, there was nothing you could not accomplish. The Constitution is one of the all-time greatest documents of all time but it did not make any promises that there would be no obstacles or pain along the road for your pursuit of that dream of happiness. Joe knew first hand what blood, sweat, and tears meant. He never looked for a participation trophy and realized, at a young age, that he was not entitled to anything he didn't work for. He was willing to go full bore towards his goals and meet obstacles head on, which never were in short supply. He never went out looking for trouble but it always managed to find him. This is the story of an average American Joe verses the world as he encountered extraordinary experiences.

Do you ever find yourself shouting at the television as you listen to a politician spout ideas you know are unsound? Joe Blankenship has been doing that more and more often over the past several years, and it's his belief that someone needs to step forward and represent sound ideals for the community. Then one day, an idea presents itself: What if that someone was me? Join authors Robert Hickman and Susanna Hickman Bartee as they introduce you to Average Joe's everyman Joe Blankenship—a retired, small-town American rancher who decides to speak up and run for office just to see if the establishment will listen. Joe is no political expert, and not even his own family expects his campaign to last long. But when he begins giving speeches about how the government ought to be held to the same standards as private citizens and businesses, his message resounds with just enough people—and support—to keep him going. He may always be just an Average Joe, but it turns out that might be exactly who his community has been looking for.
