Hindseeing – A Life in the World
There are not many people alive who can testify to the remarkable twentieth century. Bertram Clive Beardsley, age 94, can—from firsthand experience.
Born in 1924, Kansas City, Beardsley grew up during the depression, served in World War II and Korea, earned a master’s degree on the GI Bill, and worked in countries where Cold War hostilities bubbled under the surface. He married a woman from Belize and raised two biracial children at a time when such a family turned heads and caused comments.
Along the way, Beardsley played baseball and jazz, took his family around the world, and strove to be a man in full.
