Heroics. Triumphs and tragedies. Adversity, successes, failures, and revelations. The stories told in ÒGlimpses Into the LifeÓ are all true, and give the reader a mixture of sound advice, cautionary tale, excitement, and entertainment. These are snapshots, taken from various and wide-ranging times along the path of my 52-year life. While not entirely autobiographical, this collection of stories will give you an idea of the kind of life IÕve lead. They will give you an idea of the kind of person IÕve been, and an idea of the way fate, happenstance, and Òthe best laid plansÓ have all played roles in bringing me to the place where I now find myself.
