An orphan's story of tough love, comic relief and reaching for the American Dream
The Louisville and Jefferson County Childrens Home provided a difficult and austere beginning for James W. Settle, D.D.S. However, he also received an excellent education at the Childrens Home and went on to live a full, rich life filled with community service. THE BEANERY is a fascinating, inspiring, and humorous chronicle of his life that includes, among many other things, his experiences in the Navy before WWII and his lifelong love of music. Now retired, at age 90, Dr. Settle still performs regularly with the Watsonville Marching and Concert Band. The American Dream, with all of its rewards, has become a reality for James W. Settle.
