Goodnight John-Boy
Author: Earl Hamner
Publisher: Cumberland House Publishing
ISBN: 9781581822984
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
For eight wonderful years The Waltons, the story of a family living in the foothills of Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains during the Depression, entertained America and the world. Yet this television show was more than entertaining. Each episode combined wonderful stories and "teachable moments" in which adults and children alike learned the importance of honesty, hard work, respect, responsibility, self-sacrifice, and kindness. As is true in most families, the Waltons faced many challenges, occasionally stumbled along the way, but they struggled to live their lives within the framework of the values they believed and taught. Goodnight, John-Boy is a memory book of The Waltons, the number-one television show of its time. Filled with behind-the-scenes anecdotes and profiles of people who appeared on the show, it introduces readers to the Hamner family members who later became characters on The Waltons, suggests events and locales that inspired many of the episodes, and traces Earl Hamner's life as a writer from Virginia to New York to Hollywood. Included is a description of each episode plus reminiscence, comments, and personal feelings from numerous people connected with the series-writers, actors, directors, producers, family, and fans. Heavily illustrated with publicity shots and personal photographs taken by cast, crew, and others, Goodnight John-Boy will be a welcomed book by millions of loyal fans. When The Waltons first aired in 1972, it was at the bottom of the Nielson ratings-by December it led the list. That dramatic leap came about because fans told their friends about it and wrote the CBS network to praise the show and to plead that the show not be canceled. Thirty years later, Goodnight, John-Boy is sure to touch the hearts of the show's fans again.

That Good Night
Author: Richard Probert
Publisher: Beaufort Books
ISBN: 0825307228
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
This isn't the story of an old man's death, but rather his decision to live. Condemned to spend his "Golden Years" cooped up in Sunset Nursing Home, 84-year-old Charlie Lambert simply refuses this ending for himself. With the help of an old buddy in Maine, Charlie plans to go AWOL—permanently. He'll buy a boat and hit the high seas, where he will happily live out the remainder of his life on his own terms. Nothing ever goes quite as planned, though, as Charlie heads towards out on his 46-foot sailboat. He strikes up an unexpected romance with Abigail, a woman decades his junior, and still, things take a darker turn when he discovers a former FBI agent-turned-insurance-investigator hot on his trail. Agent Roberts has been hired to find out what happened to Charlie: bring him back if he's alive, or determine he's dead and collect his life insurance policy. Roberts doesn't expect a fight from the old man, but that's just what he gets, because Charlie has no intention of ever returning to Sunset, whether in handcuffs or a pine box. Funny, profound, and heartbreaking, That Good Night tells the story of a man who won't "go gently" into the night, who is determined to sail into the sunset of his own choosing.

With over three decades of experience in public sector HR, Bob Lavigna gives managers the tools they need to leverage the talents of government's most important resource: its people. You know firsthand that your government workers are not underworked, overpaid, or mindless clones just carrying out the morally compromised work that politicians forced through the pipeline.

To be able to return to their desks daily with the passion and commitment required to accomplish these overwhelming duties will require a manager who knows how to leverage talent, improve performance, and inspire passion within these true servants. In Engaging Government Employees, you will learn: Why a highly engaged staff is 20 percent more productive How to get employees to deliver “discretionary effort” How to assess the level of engagement Why free pizza and Coke every Friday is not a viable strategy Engaging Government Employees rejects the typical one-size-fits-all approach to motivation. Drawing on a wealth of empirical evidence, this indispensable resource shows how America’s largest employer can apply the science of engagement to get team members passionate about the agency’s mission and committed to its success.
