His childhood was often spent in the attic of his paternal grandparent’s home looking through family heirlooms. A lot of these items dealt with faraway travel in the eighteen hundreds. At an early age travel became the driving interest in his life.
Upon completion of high school at age 17 with savings of $400 dollars he set out to see the world. This book is derived from a log of those travels.
He graduated in Aeronautics at San Jose State University in 1954. Later he worked 35 years for Pan American World Airways. He retired in 1990 as a Boeing 747 captain after logging 20,000 hours of flight, crisscrossing the world. The motivation to write this book was to provide insight into his early life for the enjoyment of Susan, Doug, and Eric his three children. Widowed he now lives in Campbell California.
A word of thanks is due Sally Howe owner of the “Campbell Express” newspaper for her editing and encouragement to complete this work.
