Take an excursion with the author as he navigates the choices he made while sailing through three careers--jazz musician, Naval officer, and award-winning educator--amidst marriage, fatherhood, divorce, and remarriage against the backdrop of World War II, the Civil Rights Movement, and the 2020 pandemic.

His story, though uniquely his, is shared by many who have had to make similar choices as they mature from boyhood to manhood.
