Synopsis
Author Forrest Calico was born into humble circumstances in 1940s rural Kentucky. In Out of the Blue: How Open Doors and Unexpected Paths Set the Course of My Life, Calico tells how, despite those challenges, he has amassed an impressive record of personal and professional achievements. He recounts the inspiring story of his rise from childhood poverty through surprising affirmation in medical school, followed by a succession of accomplishments, including serving as a US Air Force flight surgeon at Area 51, the secret US military site in Nevada; as director of a groundbreaking medical residency program; as president of a three-state hospital system; and as chairman of a local school board. His stories offer lessons of openness to unexpected, out-of-the-blue experiences; recognition of support from others; and providential intervention-lessons that are applicable to all who endeavor to develop their own optimal life trajectories. Out of the Blue-told with honesty and self-deprecating humor-demonstrates how one man used the unexpected to have a fulfilling, successful, and meaningful life.
