Now into my octogenarian years, my life has been jam-packed with crisis. My wife has always called me "Lightning Rod." I've been run over; shot-at; shot down; was an assassination target in the JFK assassination conspiracy; hospitalized fifteen times; am a cancer survivor and was recently given a story to write on a crash program; a story that will shock the world. I'm a retired international engineering and construction management consultant on some of the world's largest projects and speak English, Spanish, Italian and some Farsi. I'm a member of the American Radio Relay League, the 398 Bomb Group Memorial Association, The WWII Air Force Navigator Observers Association, the Radio Society of Tucson, the Military Officers Association of America and the Association of Former Intelligence Officers. I have appeared many times on radio and TV regarding Sputnik and Target JFK. Finally, I'm an eponymous recipe historian, writing the stories behind the world's classic recipes, who created them, where and when they were created and why they were created. This is my first posting on Authors Den and will update it as required.
