Often Wrong, but Never in Doubt: a Look Back at a Life Greatly Blessed Richard J. Finnick

Often Wrong, but Never in Doubt chronicals the author's life before WW II and takes us back to the horse-drawn milk wagon days and simpler times. It then brings us through the war that changed his neighborhood forever and into the post war years, the moves his family made and the lasting impact this conversation with his mother had on him and his future family: "Well, in that case you need to ask that girl Barbara Gruhn". "Why?" "Because she asked you out a few months ago". "But we didn't go". "I know, Richard, but the proper thing to do is return the invitation. If she says, 'No'. then your obligation is ended". Then he quickly takes us through his junior high and high school days, his year in a Catholic seminary, his Army and college years and his business career; then shares some golf sagas that anyone who has played the game will see themselves in and finaly shows us the depth of his feelings and faith as he talks about what a special friend taught him about a God who loves us where we are and not where we aught to be.
