Kind of like a scrapbook, this is a collection of words and pictures that Max Bishop has  been saving for a long time and has decided to put all in one place.

The oldest of seven kids and son of Pat and Vern, Max was born in Midland, Michigan on July 20th, 1946 and lived there at 5400 N. Eastman Rd. until the Air Force flew him away in 1966.

SCHOOL LIFE: from Kindergarten to College

Click on these words to read the part of Max's story from the time he entered School Life until, as the graduation theme suggests, he was inducted into Life's School ... (If you lived in or around Mills, Larkin or Hope Townships or in Sanford, MI, from 1946 to 1966, you might find your picture or a story about you there)

 

The pictures below and the names to the left are of some of the kids that Max grew up with...

And then there was...

LIFE'S SCHOOL: ...on the job training for who, what and how to be...

School Life was interesting and often fun but, in hindsight, Life's School came all to soon. 

Click on these words to read about Max's introduction to Life's School.

Click on these words to see pictures of a happy summary of Max's Life School.

(... and the plan is to continue the life and the story ad infinitum   ;-) 
 

FAMILY ...

Lots of things have been said over the last several years about "Family Values".  Max got his values in lots of different ways from lots of different places.

AIRPLANES ...  a.jpg (14979 bytes)

Much of his life has had to do with airplanes and, for 7 years from 1975 through 1982, Max worked at a small airplane factory in Chandler, Arizona called Varga Aircraft.  After the factory closed, he continued working an playing with airplanes and eventually built his own. 

 

PEOPLE, PLACES & THINGS...

This link will take you to stuff about some of Max's favorite people, places. things, words and thoughts.

 

...Other Stuff...  

 

...about life and how it is, or maybe should be, lived.
