After being drafted into the U.S. Army as a teenager and spending three years of war in a foreign land, I returned to my homeland no longer a teenager but a man. Unlike most soldiers who returned to their roots of small towns and farmlands, I joined the millions who settled in Manhattan. Commonly known as the "Big Apple," it was here I pursued turning childhood dreams into reality. Many of those dreams were realized due to a great city, which freely and generously opened doors for an education and opportunities far beyond what I ever imagined as a child. Not only was I admitted to the most prestigious school of music in the United States and perhaps the entire world, but I was also accepted at New York University to complete my academic education. During my long New York tenure, I stood on some of the city's foremost theatrical stages, including Broadway and Carnegie Hall. Mentors and teachers were a constant guide and became lifelong friends even after I moved to Hollywood, California. "And Then It Was Winter" Volume Two brings my life into the sunset years. By accident my wife and I discovered a small village not far from the Mexican border called Green Valley. No longer hassling with a rush-rush world, it is here we pleasantly recall another life that existed in the past.

He told him how dirt and debris showered down on you, tapping on your helmet, and how for a moment it sounded and felt like rain.
