I'm Most Anxious for My Death

I'm Most Anxious for My Death

By: J. Carlton Sharp

In his autobiography, J. Carlton Sharp describes his life's greatest triumphs and trials, sharing the benefit of his experiences with the reader. For the context surrounding his life's journey, he describes his family's ancestry; his upbringing by his loving and sometimes strict parents; and his formative childhood memories at the YMCA. Adulthood takes him on the wonderful journey of meeting his devoted wife of five decades, Louise, and raising a family together. Professionally, he learned much from his time in the Army as well as working of the National Security Agency, a position that led him to a special assignment leading the evidence analysis team during the Iran-Contra Investigation in President Ronald Reagan's White House. Now 79 years old, Sharp looks back on these memories from a vantage point of failing health to offer his reflections on the meaning of life.
