A LABOR OF LOVEActually, the word “labor” is the wrong word because it denotes something

painful – like childbirth! This project is anything but painful. It is a TRUE

labor of love. This project is anything but painful. It is a TRUE labor of love.

My name is Julie Weishaar, and I am one of two very lucky ladies who had the

most wonderful father, David Sahud – the author of “From Self-Proclaimed

Nerd, to Accomplished Executive, to Befuddled Snowbird"

DavidSahud.com

Dad (“daddy” to me and my sister, Carole-Beth) wrote extremely

entertaining stories over the years and was always encouraged to get

them published because they were so enjoyed by those who read them.

Page 32: Laughter is The World's Best Medicine

A LABOR OF LOVEI did get one of his stories published in an offline magazine many years

ago (Keeping up with Technology) but as life always got in the way, he

never did get around to publishing his stories.

DavidSahud.com

After he passed away on August 25, 2012, I spearheaded this project with our

families joyful consent that this would be a wonderful tribute to a wonderful

man, while bringing entertaining and engaging stories to the masses so that his

talent would not be wasted in a file folder where his stories lived.

This book brings to life what is essentially an auto-biographical account of my

dad’s life – mixed with tons of hyperbole as part of his creative genius.
