'Blowin' in the Wind' is Lyndon's autobiography and in his view as the title implies fate has taken him into a variety of different jobs rather than him planning the course of his life. The sub-title 'The Life of an Innocent' you may feel is a little off the truth but Lyndon says he was 'wet behind the ears' and only realised the truth about situations after they had taken place.
As noted, the book is an autobiography and Lyndon has had a very varied life and recounts his experiences first as schoolboy in Scarborough, then working at the National Physical Laboratory as a metrologist - that is a trained person making precision measurements. This was followed by a complete change in lifestyle as an exhibition dancer and dance school owner. This was followed by a move back to metrology and quality control work, first at the National Engineering Laboratory in East Kilbride and then for PIRA, the research association for the printing, packaging and paper making industries in Leatherhead.
All this was followed by work as Chief Administrator for the IDTA at offices he found for them in Brighton. Following retirement from this post at age 65 Lyndon wrote many articles and had seven books published, one of which was translated in five other languages.
His experiences in all phases of his life are a fascinating insight into what could be called 'fringe occupations' over the last nine decades.
