The life of any human being is really a brief moment in time, and a very short speck in the context of the world. This book is about just one speck who got in at what was probably a good time and did a lot of remarkable things, all honorably, and plans to leave the world with a small book documenting his perceptions of living the best life possible. Work at Pan American Airlines in Miami was a great introduction, then Saudi Arabian Airlines in Jeddah for 2 tours taught us to adapt, and later the start up of GAMCO Aircraft Maintenance in Abu Dhabi was a real challenge, but it allowed us to see the world and live international visiting many countries. I shared this adventure with my wife, Mary Margaret, called Margie by her choice who passed in 2021, and our children Kimberly and Natalie Jill and grandchildren, Anna Christine and Nicole.
