John Andrews

Mort John Andrews

What They BuiltIt was wartime, early 1942. Morton D'Evelyn, a young oilman soon to enter the Army, was writing to Patricia Johnson, his fiancée and fellow Stanford graduate. Poetically he spoke of their unfolding life together as "this fine edifice we're building." Where they sprang from, what they built, how it has stood the test of time, and what it can teach us as Americans today, all come to life in this warm personal account by Mort and Patty's son-in-law, John Andrews. John Andrews and Donna D'Evelyn were college sweethearts. Married since 1967, they live in Colorado near their three grown children and grandson. John's career has spanned politics, education, media, and ministry. This is his sixth book.
