It has always been an ambition of mine to write an autobiography. I think many people could benefit from hearing about the way I have tried to deal with the unforeseen events of life that crept up on me. From humble beginnings, I find myself in situations in the Royal Navy where fear grips me, and I must overcome it. As an aircrewman, I describe my search and rescue missions with detail and humor. There is tragedy, where we are too late! Too late! Also there is success, where men are saved from the boiling seas. I explain what got me on the Christian path and how Liz and I had to battle with forgiveness to move forward together. If you have a romantic view of working for the church in different countries, then my stories of the harsh realities will give you wisdom to deal with the situations. My life has had its share of trials and tribulations, but my faith in God has brought me through.
