Grandpa Bud

A grandfather busily prepares all kinds of food for his granddaughter and the guests he thinks she is bringing to visit him.

The wisest and funniest book ever written on public education in America.

Some people’s lives become a beacon for the lives of others. This is the true and compelling story of Reverend Francis Joseph “Bud” Atlas Sr., a black farmer who raised twelve highly successful children and quietly took on the fight for voting rights and justice— and won. As the tenth child, author Annie Chatman paints a vivid picture of a happy childhood and the hard work and rewards of life on the farm with her siblings. The book follows the family from 1926 through 1963. Set in a small town in the deep South, it highlights the struggle of whites and blacks navigating the “separate but equal” doctrine of the times, with every aspect of their lives separated—schools, churches, public restrooms—and blacks facing inequality at every turn. But Bud is determined that each of his children will become all they are capable of becoming, and despite financial poverty, the family is rich in hopes, dreams, and ambition.

Princess Zoey and Prince Joey and Bud is the delightful story of a wonderful golden retriever, Zoey and her owner Dr. Burton Waisbren (Bud) who have a unique relationship, mostly because Zoey “talks.” Zoey has met a coyote and is struggling with the ups and downs of having a boyfriend, and Grandpa Bud helps her with her problems. We also learn how Zoey gets bathed, eats Bud ́s hearing aid, saves an injured bird, and meets her “cousins,” Bud ́s great-grandchildren. As the author so eloquently writes, “This book is for dog lovers who do talk to their dogs, for parents who as I did, came home after a hard days’ work, and then read to their children before putting them to bed, for Grandparents who want to bond with their grandchildren by tearing them away from television and reading to them, and above all, for children whose horizons are beginning to widen as they read books such as these.”

After facing the realization I was going to become a grandfather to a great little boy, it seemed important to tell him something about his family history that occurred before he was born. With as busy as he is now in college, it may be awhile before he slows down long enough to inquire.I simply started at the beginning with the first memory I ever had, and chronicled many of the meaningful things in my life as I remembered them. I documented grade school, high school, and college experiences. I then moved on to my time in the military and in the working world, all the while starting a family with a special woman, Trudy, my wife of nearly forty-seven years. The highlights in my life get a treatment, including my travels and the events that affected me deeply enough to shape my thinking, because I also share my many opinions. Here then is Grandpa’s Backstory: Because Somebody Might Need to Know!

What if we created a world - one model community at a time - that was committed to developing all humans' gifts and virtues, instead of a world hellbent on making money, scrambling for extrinsic forms of power, or wallowing in meaningless comfort? What if we surrounded ourselves with a culture that helped us to discern and use spiritual principles, no matter what religion or secular belief we practice? These are some of the questions addressed by the future citizens of a fictional town in the intriguing Allsville Emerging, as they evolve from online think tanks to planning and building an actual community which exemplifies the values implied by those questions. Seldom has such idealism been tempered by so many plausible and, at times, downright practical solutions. Allsville Emerging is a pipe dream turned pipeline. This book is not about a Utopian community. It's a fictional, but philosophical, account which unfolds into a workable blueprint for a better way of doing "us."
