His fathers son

In researching the early life of my maternal grandfather, Julius Ludwig Frederick Becker, Jr., I learned of people and events from the prior generation that I felt had to be incorporated into the book. The story line had to be revised. The result is evident in the book?s title, ?His Father?s Son.? What I also learned was that my maternal great-grandfather was an influential figure throughout my grandfather?s life. It was evident that this biographical endeavor was too much for a single volume; hence, a trilogy. This first volume is subtitled, ?Part 1 ? He Wore A Clerical Collar.? The second volume (in preparation) is subtitled, ?Part 2 ? He Wore A Khaki Collar.? It features his life as a rancher in Inyo County, CA, the area of his first parish assignment and the home of the young woman who became his wife. The third volume will be subtitled ?Part 3 ? He Wears A White Collar.? This volume will review life throughout his third career in Southern California.
