About the Author My journey in life began on April fifteenth, 1955 when I was born into an Army family at Fort Bragg in Fayetteville, North Carolina. At that time, my Father was a member of the 82nd Airborne Division as a master parachutist and shortly thereafter, joined the Corps of Engineers. Between 1955 and 1971, I had lived at Fort Bragg, Fort Campbell, Kentucky, Fort Churchill, Canada, Fort Wainwright, Alaska, and Fort Belvoir, Virginia. At a young age, I learned that relocating frequently made it a formidable task for me to feel a sense of belonging. In the spring of 1971, however, that void was vanquished. This book discusses at length the remarkable transformation that I experienced for the nine years that followed. The vast amount of knowledge that I acquired during that time period was not gained in a classroom-it came by way of personal experience. The lessons that I learned have their roots in art, aviation, religion, air traffic control, drugs, sex, and rock and roll. Aim High is my true story of how all of these factors came to play prominent roles in my life; the journey begins on page one-fasten your seatbelts!
