Boy In the Corner

A humorous and inspirational story of a young boy plagued with an undiagnosed learning disorder in the late 50s, early 60s before we understood learning disorders. The teachers were frustrated but Clyde's mother would not give up on him. With her determination and Clyde's will to succeed, he taught himself techniques that "worked for him".

As an adult, during part of his military service under the command of General Hollingsworth, Batavia served proudly and gained confidence.

He went on to run his own company and become the President of the Machinery Dealers National Association (MDNA) in Washington D. C.

Batavia's journey includes rejection and adjusting to life outside the military, often fraught with a desire to "take a swing" at people who did not respect soldiers. In the end, he became a speaker, an author (who would have thought?) and active in merchant organizations around the world.

Boy in the Corner is a memorable story that you shouldn't miss.
