Robert Hatcher Hoge's Autobiography: A Renaissance Man
Robert H. Hoge was known as a highly respected artist within the Carmel, California art circles, but he also had extensive success in business during the Industrial Revolution. As a painter, sculptor, Virginia Tech engineer, scientist and inventor, he strove to live to his full potential. His autobiography describes his life from growing up as the son of a Baptist minister, running away from home as a teenager and successfully living through the Great Depression. This compilation of life lessons and thoughts are valuable to anyone willing to take some time to read as a reference manual for risking getting out of one’s comfort zone, an affirmation of core values that have sustained multiple generations, and a reminder of a life lived by a true “Renaissance Man”.
