Even though I have never heard of famous couple, this autobiography grabbed me immediately and didn’t let go. The story’s first lines explain the title, and had me hooked from there through the last page. They were such interesting characters with their full life of adventures and accomplishments. Written as a legacy for their great-grandchildren, it makes for a very thorough ancestry log.

I am amazed how much the world has changed in their lifetime. Even though I lived through many of these years, over half in fact, I actually learned tremendously more about each of those current events by reading this book. I felt more involved with them.

I was amazed with all of Ed’s ingenuity as a lawyer. He was truly a genius. It feels like I have now traveled the world and virtually experienced so many things that I will never truly experience in my lifetime. My favorite line was “A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour”. I concur.

It is so fascinating to read first hand experiences in history. We as a people always forget that people actually LIVED the history we learn about, and it is not just stories. This book is a joint autobiography about a married couple and their life together. It goes through so many ups and downs of their lives, and is so fascinating. It starts with them meeting right after World War II and ends with where they are now. If you like history and just want to see what someones life was like in our real history, I suggest reading this book.

Family expedition in life

An overall joyous story of living a real life; not one others mapped out for you. Ed and Elizabeth Morris show great courage in telling all the good and the bad that have transpired over their long years. It is an inspiring tale.
