This book contains not all of my experiences and adventures in life but those experiences and adventures which I feel were rather unusual. Especially the circumstances when these happenings occurred. These experiences manifested themselves in the United States the Philippines and Japan which included World War II. How I got into a situation that had my buddy and I in a makeshift pontoon boat face a Liberty ship heading at us 200 feet away you would not believe. For company we had sharks and barracuda.
