O knihe
My Four Score and Ten Years is the memoir
of a nonagenarian husband, father, grandfather, Kansas
University professor, and world traveler. Jim Drury tells
the story of his life, which spans most of the twentieth
century, beginning with stories of his own grandfather in
the 1880s. His recollections include the time he spent in
Japan, Pakistan, Costa Rica and Poland, on the campus of KU
and touring around the world with his wife in their later
years. Jim Drury was born in 1919 in East St. Louis,
Illinois. He studied at the University of Illinois and did
his graduate work at Princeton. He lived in Washington,
D.C., during the Second World War and served in the US Army.
He remained an Army Reservist until his retirement. It was
in Washington that he met and married his wife of over
sixty-five years, Florence (nicknamed Danny). He and Danny
later moved to Lawrence, Kansas, where they have lived for
most of their lives and where Jim was a Professor of
Political Science at Kansas University for over forty years.
Jim and Danny have traveled extensively and lived for short
periods in Japan, Pakistan, Costa Rica, and Poland.
