In an unusually violent air chase, United States Customs Pilot, Truck Adams, unexpectedly captures the only son of Carlos Santiago, the infamous head of Colombia's largest drug cartel. Carlos begins a murderous rein of terrorism and revenge on a scale America had never seen, including the brutal assassination of the Commissioner of Customs. When our government fails to act, Truck takes matters into his own hands. He effects Santiago's son's escape in a stolen Customs Blackhawk helicopter, crosses half the country evading a massive manhunt, and delivers an unsolicited bundle to the White House lawn. Truck continues his odyssey, via a Federal Express 727 jet, into Santiago's ranch in Colombia. The embarrassed President of the United States is forced to respond. In a dawn raid on the cartel's secret headquarters, U.S. Special Forces find more than they bargained for, and Truck is right in the middle of the biggest military action since Desert Storm. From exciting air chases, to a major military operation, to a look inside the drug cartel's secret operations, the non-stop action takes you on a journey of what the air war on drugs is really like.

His life spans from hand-to-hand combat against Crazy Horse to the twilights last gleaming of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, and along the way he brushes up against the mythic figures who helped shape historyGeneral Crook, Crazy Horse, Geronimo, Roosevelt, Patton and Eisenhower. An ordinary man, Patrick is a reluctant hero, raging at life and passionately loving three remarkable women. Frontiers is the story of a man and an empire, and the unstoppable ability of both to carry on.

A compilation of poems I've written through the years. Full of mixed emotions and deep meaning.

Picture cell phones, text messaging, Ipods, MP3 players, lawsuits and attitudes. It's a brand new world in today's classrooms. Classroom teachers who were once respected, seldom challenged, and even revered at times bear little resemblance to modern educators who struggle to teach a generation of students unlike any ever seen before. Today's students bring to class with them a wide variety of academic and social challenges. Teachers struggle to meet these needs while at the same time keeping abreast of the latest educational theories, methodologies, strategies, and trends in technology. After decades of experience in the classroom and as an administrator, working at all levels from elementary school through graduate studies, the author has written this text in order to pass along what he has learned in his journey through the educational system. So much has changed in those years and yet so many of the issues and concerns that face teachers today are rooted in the past. In this work the author attempts to pass along "hands on" and "common sense" methodologies and strategies that have proven successful in diverse classrooms filled with an ever changing student population. This "how to" book is designed to help not only new teachers, but veteran educators as well. It is the hope of the author that those who read it will learn and in turn will be better able to meet the needs of their students.
