Meet Kansas City author Mary Bichelmeyer Lucas as
she signs copies of Lunchmeat
& Life Lessons: Sharing a Butcher's
Wisdom.
She's the daughter of the well-known and greatly
respected John Bichelmeyer, who
owned and operated Bichelmeyer Meats in Kansas
City, Kansas for more than 60 years.
An unforgettable character referred to by the
Kansas
City Star as the "City
Philosopher," John Bichelmeyer counseled his
daughter over the course of 25
years as she made her way up the corporate ladder,
eventually reaching executive
management of a billion dollar company.
Now, Mary - one of John's ten children - shares his
wit and wisdom in the
telling of his story.
Lunchmeat & Life Lessons is a
slice of real world business wisdom from a butcher
with an eighth grade education, and a plate piled high
with experience. Once you
read this book, you'll wish John Bichelmeyer could
have been your Dad, too.

About Us...
Vivien L. Jennings is the Founder
& President of Rainy Day Books, Inc.
Since
Vivien opened the doors on November 04, 1975,
Rainy Day Books has provided the Greater Kansas
City community with a gathering place, a wellspring
for ideas and creative thought, and an ongoing voice
for
literacy and awareness. Rainy Day Books is
the major independent bookseller in Kansas City,
recognized locally and nationally profiled by The
Kansas City Star and Publishers Weekly
for its community Author
Events, which average 300 plus per year.
Rainy Day Books recommends selections to over 140
book clubs in the area. Vivien and her
romantic partner Roger Doeren support many
local charitable and
civic organizations in raising both funds and
awareness through many of the community Author
Events. Their philosophy is: "Bigger
Isn't Better. Better Is Better. We are
interested not so much in what we have done, but
more in what we still want to do. It is thrilling
to watch people leave our
Events with the knowledge that authors and their
books can expand their awareness, improve their
health, make them laugh, touch their hearts, and
encourage them to achieve a better life in a better
world. This is truly the spirit of the 'Legacy of
Literacy' that we hope to contribute to the
community."
