From the Foreword of this 107 page book: "This work supports CEC's policy on career education, which states that career education is the totality of experience through which one learns to live a meaningful, satisfying work life. Within the career education structure, work is conceptualized as conscious effort aimed at producing benefits for oneself and/or others. Career education provides the opportunity for individuals to learn, in the least restrictive environment possible, the academic, daily living, personal-social, and occupational knowledge and the specific vocational skills necessary for attaining their highest level of economic, personal, and social fulfillment. In order to assist students with exceptionalities to become productive workers and independent adults, special education needs to work in collaboration with parents, other educators, community services, and business. The LCCE approach serves as a model for making this happen. CEC is proud to provide this modified LCCE curriculum for use in schools and adult training environments."

In 1943, Robert Loyd was a sixteen-year-old without a driver’s license or a car who had just moved to St. Louis from the countryside. The Uncle Sam Wants You! posters hanging in every public building enticed him to lie about his age and join the fight. After graduating from the program at Farragut Naval Training Station, he was assigned to overhauling the USS Dewey, a destroyer, in Bremerton, Washington. When the Dewey was deemed seaworthy, his group received orders to join the Third Fleet in the Pacific and arrived in Honolulu in October 1943. The next months were spent in and around Ulithi atoll in the Western Caroline Islands, protecting and escorting the fleet’s carriers, tankers, and cruisers. In December 1944, the Dewey weathered a powerful typhoon, her crew lashed to their bunks or to stanchions, as the ship was tossed by winds and rain and finally righted itself after an eighty-degree roll. After repairs, the ship rejoined the fleet in February 1945 and supported the invasion of Iwo Jima. The Dewey was decommissioned in October 1945, and the author returned to civilian life in May 1946.
