Eddie: Growing Up in the Early 20th Century

I wrote and published my first book "Smooth" some time ago in order to relate to my daughter things I experienced while on 8 years active duty with the United States Navy as an officer and Naval Aviator. She liked the book but wondered what had happened to me during the early years of my life. That prompted me to write "Eddie." I am currently finishing a third book that tells about flying for Northwest Airlines and the Navy Reserve. When finished it will be a trilogy of sorts. "Eddie" is a true biography while the other two books are listed as fiction in order to preserve persons and places that may be sensative. I am a retired Commander, United States Naval Reserve and a retired 747 Captain with Northwest Airlines. I have substantial experience in flying and leadership along with a very candid sense of evaluation of my fellow man. I admit to a strong sense of humor and can laugh at myself easily. I currently live in Naples, Florida and Elgin, Illinois depending on what spirit moves me.
