" Hopefully I'll have it published yet. Just imagine, 56 years as a working 
photog travelling and shooting the world filled with anecdotes and pictures.

Richard,
Well we ran it by my publisher a couple of years ago but it didn't make it. 
:-( I don't think we prepared the material well and it got shot down! :-(

However, everytime I'm asked about my career people find it hard to believe 
one person could have been through all the things that I have & happened. 
:-)

Crashing into the arctic ocean in a helicopter, buried alive by a snow plow, 
a badly smashed up ski equipped plane crash in the arctic, shelled and shot 
at in the 6 Day war and in Viet nam, to being hit by a flying wheel at a 
stock car race and zillions of other fun stuff! :-)

They all say the same thing, "My God you should write a book!" :-)

I have been. I do have a great number of prints made and stories written. 
It's just getting the right publisher! Some day. ;-)
