North of PDQ

About the Book

Paul Duke Quincy, youngest son of Peter Denis Quincy, owner and CEO of the PDQ Manufacturing, was no student like his older brother and sister and took an extra year to graduate from high school. He lazed around the house until his father gave him an ultimatum. “Take one or two years away from here and don’t return until you have decided what you want to do with the rest of your life.” Paul left home that night.
