All of the events depicted in "Pass Me The Rice" are authentic because of my direct participation in them and also having pertinent facts provided to me personally. As a Naval Officer, I spent two years as an Advisor to the Vietnamese Navy's Junk Force patrolling the waters from the Gulf of Thailand to the South China Sea and the River Assault Groups on the rivers of South Vietnam.
2. In between those two assignments, I was on the Senior Naval Advisor's Staff in Saigon for several months where I created and edited "The Advisors Newsletter," a monthly effort for the men in the field. The 3rd edition earned me the Chief of Naval Information's Best Navy/Marine Newsletter award for the Third Quarter-'68.
3. I graduated from the University of Minnesota and currently reside in Pensacola, Florida with my Vietnamese wife Kim. I retired from the Navy in November '69 due to wounds received in Vietnam and also retired from Civil Service in October 1997 where I was a Supervisory Repair Engineer for Cruisers and Battleships.ver menos
