This saga is about a young man’s remarkable experiences from an early age. His father’s desire to learn to fly an airplane began as a ten-year-old in the Texas Panhandle but instead had to quit school and formal education to survive working in the Great Depression of the 1930s. Because of him, Rocky Don Stone piloted a crop-dusting helicopter at the age of sixteen, before he’d even sat in an airplane and found himself in the Caribbean Sea flying a seaplane for Hemingway Aviation in San Juan, Puerto Rico, at the age of nineteen. His life changes dramatically over a two-year period, including befriending Bob Marley in Kinston, Jamaica, and becoming world-famous in Mazatlan, Mexico. The story includes interesting Meso-American facts told by anthropologists and historians. Learn about why the Cayman Islands are so special. A simple come-on line to meet an islander girl in Charlotte Amalie, Saint Thomas, of the US Virgin Islands catapults Rocky Don’s life far beyond his expectations. However adventurous and successful he became, Rocky Don remained humble and considered himself a regular guy. Get excited by the prospect of finding a sunken pirate ship last seen in 1686. There is a woman who is one of a set of quadruplets that all look alike but are each of a different race, who, in 1971, was forty-two years old. Learn about the location of the first golf course in the Western Hemisphere. The book will be an adventure to read.
