Dropping Out, Tuning In: At Play in the Fields . . .
A Collection of Chapters by Perry Orwick (Author), with Georgia Widicker Orwick (Co-Author), Anne Merkley (Editor) 206 Pages $24.50 ISBN: 978-0977241255 Perry was unique. With a PhD in Clinical Psychology earned at age twenty-seven, he worked in various mental health service settings for about ten years before he “dropped out”. With his wife Georgia, he “hit the road” on a motorcycle, towing a small trailer, their “home” for seven years. He carried a portable typewriter to record observations from their travels for his Collection of Chapters.
Thus began an eighteen-year adventure that Perry considered “tuning in” to a life of unusual travel and opportunities for adventure, from being a big game hunter to a fishing guide to a snowmobile and desert jeep tour guide, to the captain and narrator of a fifty-passenger cruise boat, and beyond. At the conclusion of the celebration in their twenty-fifth anniversary tour with their twenty-six-foot sailboat Raven’s Magic, by accident or a miracle, Perry and Georgia found their first and forever home in Pocatello, Idaho, where Georgia continues to live at their beloved El Rancho. Perry’s book is richly illustrated with photographs and newspaper articles documenting their adventures while Dropping Out, Tuning In: At Play in the Fields . . . |
