Publisher's Synopsis
From the edge of space to tender moments raising a daughter, Vern Westfall has led a life full of adventure. His story is filled with so many experiences and so much excitement that it is difficult to believe that one individual has packed so much into a single lifetime. Join him in a small adobe house in a remote corner of the Arizona desert as he explores nature and is introduced to Religion. Share his strange experiences in the Philippines as he learns to survive in the jungle. Fly with him as he pilots an Air Force KC-135 Stratotanker and later as a combat pilot in command of an RF-4 over the Arctic and on special missions into North Vietnam. Sit with him on mountain tops in China as he communes with Buddhist monks and share his struggles as he becomes involved with royalty and is forced into the abortion controversy. The philosopher pilot shares his experiences and his thoughts as he travels the world and sees firsthand the cruelty and the beauty of nature and humanity. He literally has had "Three Fathers, Three Wives, and Nine Lives."
