The First Fifty: Lessons Learned in Fifty Years of Living, by Cory Ellsworth, is an insightful and humorous look into one man's life and the things he has learned along the way. From his early days on a dairy in Arizona, Cory's experiences have included working on three continents and visiting over 40 countries, raising a large family, losing beloved sons along the way, enjoying a life of service in the LDS church including a two-year mission in Germany, and creating two stage musicals. He and his wife, Amy, have moved forward with faith and humor. Life's lessons learned and shared in this book are well worth the read.
