He is the the author of African Star, a memoir of his first sea voyage as a teen-aged cadet on the ship of that name in 1961. It is a humorous re-telling of his coming of age among grizzled seamen aboard ship and ashore in the ports of South and East Africa. It also tells of his experiences with and reactions to the injustice of the apartheid system then in full force in South Africa. The book serves as a time capsule of a bygone era in the American merchant marine before its near demise due to global changes due to technology, economics and politics.ver menos
