These memoirs of Gordon Selman, a nationally and internationally recognized practitioner and scholar in Canadian adult education, give insight into his thoughts and feelings during a 40-year professional life in university extension work and historical scholarship in adult education. Chapter 1 describes his activities before he entered the field of adult education. Chapter 2 addresses circumstances surrounding his entry into adult education and reflects on the juxtaposition of his time in the field since the 1950s and development of the field in Canada.

Chapter 4 discusses his time as Executive Assistant to the President of the university and the 7 years he served as Director of UBC's Centre for Continuing Education. Chapter 5 describes his work and activities on behalf of associations of adult educators. Chapter 6 reflects on his years as a teacher in the professional training of adult educators.
