In the year of his 86th birthday, Samuel F Pryor III presents My Interesting Life, his own story of the most memorable places and people he has encountered in his life. From Greenwich, Paris and Wall Street to the Amazon, Africa and the Arctic, Sam has led the way as a sailor, hiker, explorer, legal expert and conservationist. The chapters of My Interesting Life are dedicated to the organizations and causes to whom Sam has given his time and counsel, and now, his sincere thanks: The Appalachian Mountain Club, the Westchester Land Trust, the Land Trust Alliance, Palisades Interstate Park and the National Forest Foundation, all leaders in the effort to conserve and protect our natural open spaces. Sam also recognizes the work of the Town of Bedford Open Space Acquisition Committee, the Provident Loan Society, the Church Pension Fund, the World Rehabilitation Fund, several Pro Choice organizations, and Women's eNews, to whom he lent his time and lesdership to support their essential missions. Many other stories are also included, offering readers a glimpse into the early days of international aviation, and travels to the Himalayas, the Arctic, Africa and the Amazon. Sam also shares enlightening profiles of friends and colleagues from Davis Polk & Wardwell, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Pan American Airways, the Marine Corps, the University of Pennsylvania Law School and a number of other institutions of American life. A fascinating portrait of a uniquely influential life, My Interesting Life belongs in the libraries of conservationists and historians, as well as the many friends and admirers of Sam.
