Take a ride with me, from the farm in ’41 to Germany in ’46, to Dachau and even in a C-47 during the Berlin Airlift. From there through my prankster years in high school to the tragedies of Parris Island in ’54. Then to the obstacle course and the Sixth Fleet, my conversion and later my motorcycle ride from hell. You will meet the great people who influenced me. Then it’s on to my exit from Catholicism and my conflicts with Protestant Dispensationalism. We’ll fly a dead (or alive?) person from Vermont and have an encounter with the FBI. We will later fly a Piper PA90 Super Cub to Woodstock in 1969 and try to play with the “big boys” in the airline business. You will discover with me the reason for embryo transplanting beef cattle. You will go with me through my discipleship conversion and the miracles that happened on Fleury Road. You will build a campus with me and take a trip to the Ngomongo slums of East Africa. And finally, I’ll share my critical view of the “static” contemporary Christian church. “Are ye able,” said the Master, “to be crucified with me?” (Earl Marlatt, 1926)
