Lucky Life - Paperback

Born into a family of pioneering visionaries who helped shape the history of America, W. Scott McLucas, II., grew up the privileged namesake of a prominent Midwest banking mogul. While the nation reeled from the Great Depression and the Second World War, young Scott received the finest private school education and lived in the lap of luxury until, in his senior year at Yale, he was faced with a life-and-death decision that would haunt him for more than three decades. Journey with Scott as he fulfills his duty to his country, pursues a career in advertising, broadcasting, film-making, and theater production, and travels the world, all the while in the grip of a death threat calculated to destroy him. And, finally, celebrate with Scott as he spends the past three decades with the woman he loves by his side and One World Foundation, Inc. as his far-reaching philanthropic arm. Following in the footsteps of his pioneering ancestors, W. Scott McLucas has discovered creative joy in supporting the fields of art, education, Pulitzer-prize winning dance and drama, and environmental preservation.
