The idea for this book came to me after a brief conversation I had with a lawyer friend who liked the spin I placed on a newspaper article we both had read involving a notable fugitive from justice. "You know" he said, regarding my thought, "that would make for a very interesting book! You should write it!" I had been urged to write about my life by my wife Pat and my sisters Leah and Diane who find my past vocations and life experiences fascinating. Also incorporated in their thinking was the idea that although I had a yet to be certified gift for writing I did possess a creative though possibly warped mind; a mind that might produce something that would make for interesting reading. That said, I decided to take my sisters' along with my Lawyer friend's and my wife's advice and write. About my life? About the spin I had put on the newspaper article? Well, I decided to incorporate both in a loose fictitious way. Yes, many elements of the book are real and some events and actions that happened in the book took place. But it is a seven years in the writing work of FICTION that I hope the reader will find entertaining and enjoy.
