I acknowledge and fondly remember my grandfathers, Maurice Elmer Drake and Archibald Vance Houston, who provided me with the inspiration and foundation necessary to share their story. I would like to humbly express my appreciation to the men of the 558th AAA AW BN and U.S.S. Culebra Island ARG7 for telling their stories. I stand in awe of the countless World War II veterans I have interviewed over the years. Lastly, thank you to the millions of World War II veterans who served our country during 1939-1945. Our current freedom was paid for in blood it is the responsibility of my generation and those that follow to never forget the cost of freedom and to protect it at all costs.

Inherited Freedom

Leo and his family have just moved to a strange home in a new city. The house has stained glass windows, steaming radiators, and a cavernous basement. But it also has an attic. In the attic, where the veil between heaven and earth becomes very thin, Leo will form a friendship that transcends both time and space. In The Attic Saint, a heartening tale for children of all ages, the wisdom and beauty of the Catholic faith shine brilliantly. Author Tim Drake’s inspired story is brought to life through Theodore Schluenderfritz’s vivid illustrations.

Generation Cherry is an essential toolkit for a new generation. Many people in their fifties or sixties (and even their fories and seventies) have moved from being the gilded generation to finding themselves with a reduced income or a skinny pension. Whether such changes are down to choice or circumstances, this powerful new book from Tim Drake, shows us how we can take a second bite at the cherry and make a new future work for us. Taking a second bite is more important than ever now that we live in a society where the idea of what 'work' entails is changing, and where jobs, redundancy and retirement are evolving as concepts. Many of us feel far too young to leave our jobs or retire, and many more of us will find it financially challenging to do so. From Enlightened Thrift to the Four Autonomies (Earning, Learning, Giving and Recharging) this book is a toolkit for this new era. It will help you analyse your wider human wealth, and develop a coherent and resilient sense of autonomy. It will also help you find meaning in how your spend your days.

Drake offers a simple action plan to show us how to become more effective at making a difference in our chosen domain. He also suggests ways that help us discover our purpose, and in doing so, find where that domain should be. He argues that through making a difference, we can find fulfilment in life.
