Mr. Daems ran away from home when he was 11 years old, and being the master of his destiny from that point on in his life, he bounced around the western United States from border to border and from river to ocean. He joined the navy during the Korean Conflict and spent 4 years fighting for his country. Now in his waning years, he has taken up the pen to write down the many stories rattling around in his head; stories he so wants to share with those who like to read. This odyssey you are about to embark on is far and away his favorite tale. Enjoy!view less
