      Introduction

      I, Brendan J. McNulty was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1959 to the parents of Thomas D. and Patricia E. McNulty. McNulty is an anglicized form of the Gaelic Mac an Ulbaigh. The McNulty’s originated in County Donegal in North West Ulsher. The McNulty family immigrated to Boston in 1847 during the Great Famine. Born the third son of four boys, I was educated in Roman Catholic schools beginning with Assumption Catholic School in Queens Village.

      Our family traveled south to Atlanta, Georgia and then to South Florida where I lived for many years in the Sunshine State. I attended Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida and returned to Hollywood, FL for a few years.

      Following in my Father’s footsteps I began a career in the travel industry that took me throughout the Americas, Caribbean and Europe. I sailed the seas on majestic vessels and cruised the rivers of America. I lived in a lake house in Cedar Creek Lake, Texas and then moved back to Hollywood eventually living on Hollywood Beach. I love the way water moves the soul.

      This book is a compilation of my loves, my losses, my torment and joy. I wouldn’t change a thing. I’ve done right, and I’ve done wrong but mostly tried to be the best man I could to make my parents
