My book “The Rest is Small Potatoes” is my autobiography that begins with a chapter describing my arrival in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo in 2002. The next chapter goes back to my home town in New Jersey until the time I enlist in the Marine Corps and from there to Vietnam. I came home to a tumultuous country and somehow found my way to becoming a pilot. I made a living flying airplanes—Crop dusters to jets—and in between built my own house and owned a restaurant. My aviation career peaked in the years 2002-2006 when I flew the cabinet of the Joesph Kabilla regime in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. I hope you find it a good read and worthy of review.
