My guest today was a conscientious objector to the Vietnam War and served time in a military prison for refusing his order to fight. In his twenties, he roamed across the United States, went to Europe twice, and made one journey around the world. In 1983, he landed in Japan, where he became a professor at a private university and retired as a professor emeritus. He is the author of three novels, a novella, and over 20 research papers on teaching. His latest book is a memoir and tribute to his mother. It’s titled “The Good Lord Willing and the Creek Don’t Rise: Pentimento Memories of Mom and Me.” He and his wife still reside in Japan. Welcome to Authors Over 50, Robert W. Norris.
