The Way I See It ~ Jean Beyer

A Lighthearted & Funny Read

Retired Army Major and Author, Jean Beyer stands beside the flying American Flag with the sandy Emerald Coast in Destin, Fl

Jean, a natural storyteller, shares his humorous perspective with stories about his nemesis in the U.S. Army, ‘Colonel K,’ encounters with President Truman, drunk customers, an auto accident in the oddest of places, struggles with changing a light bulb (and other home-maintenance tasks), thoughts and lessons on life, the perfect anniversary gift, and more.

At 90, Jean has collected plenty of unique stories to fill three books.

I'm Still Here! Army Major (Ret.) Jean Beyer leans against a white bannister, the Emerald Coast in Destin, Fl behind him.

Some of Jean’s personal experiences stem from his various careers, such as; a cab driver - "for a day", salesman, window decorator, manager of the Golden Ox in Kansas City, Senior Army ROTC Officer, U.S. Army Ranger, and many others.

Jean’s eclectic resume is matched only by the number of places he has lived. As a child, Jean’s feet were never allowed to take root in a town for long. He has lived in forty-one houses in five countries and spent extended time in eight other nations.
