Overview

Insightful and heartwarming true stories from a twentieth-century life fill these pages. Oklahoma author Armin Saeger's Quaker roots shape the man he becomes and the work he undertakes. These real-life snapshots take us from early childhood, in Oklahoma and Missouri as well as Philadelphia, through WW II experiences as a Conscientious Objector, then into the author's professional life as a social worker and psychotherapist. He reveals compassion, intelligence, and humor in Sowing My Quaker Oats.

In their place, he substituted writing, and quickly became addicted to the process of translating his thoughts and feelings into the printed word, Although a variety of activities vied for his attention, daily walks, time with wife or family and writing his memoirs claimed most of his time and energy. Armin's engaging stories are a lasting legacy of his life.
