They said Walter H. Richardson would never amount to much when he was born to a single mother in Pensacola at the start of the Great Depression in 1929.

 

But they didn't know much about Richardson, his mother and their abiding faith in God and belief in education.

Richardson overcame poverty and his circumstances to rise through the ranks of the Air Force, become a leader in the Catholic Church, start his own business and tell his life story.

In his book, "How Great Thou Art: A Black Boy's Depression Era Success Story," (AuthorHouse, $15.99), Richardson puts into words the struggles and triumphs of his early years, his college days, his military career, his ordination as a deacon and his founding of an engineering and construction company in Fort Walton Beach.
