Publisher's Synopsis
J.D. Packer has been with the B&A Construction Engineering Company now for several years, which years have been a steady uphill climb for this young man. He is now located in the San Francisco Home Office of the company as a Manager of Construction Manpower Development Department and is living in Novato north of San Francisco. On several assignments he had gotten to know many of the senior VP's in the company and has worked hand in hand installing major development programs with these men's lieutenants in their various divisions. On one occasion he participated on a planning project for a major industrial city in Saudi Arabia and is now seen as an "expert" in the new emerging field of Transfer of Technology. In this continued chronicle of J.D.'s Journey Into Life, J.D. has been seconded to the company's Research and Development Division to work on a special Transfer of Technology project in Algeria. This project will consume his full-time efforts while his assistant in his absence runs the Construction Manpower Department. Working on this project will require J.D. to travel to Algeria eight times over one and one half years.
