The Rest Of It – A Memoir, Volume II, continues my eventful journey chronicled in volume I “Cotton Fields To Summits – The View From Contested Ground – A Memoir- 2017. My journey was far from over, just momentarily interrupted. In Volume II, my very full life continued with two horizon-broadening trips to The People’s Republic of China (PRC), a memorable two-week trip to Uganda in East Africa, and a permanent move to Arizona in the American Southwest, a move I labeled my last, most extended Foreign Service assignment. To my complete surprise, I also discovered the satisfaction from launching an unexpected second vocation as an author of fiction novels.
