“[I joined Deltasig] at the University of South Carolina in 1960. I was motivated by Professor Robert Armstrong, our faculty advisor, who informed me that it would allow me to experience further business education outside of a classroom.

“I have always written in journals and I’ve always had an interest in writing even as a young man. Writing the memoir was an easy write for me since it is very personal, but publishing it and allowing others to read it might have taken some courage.”

The Dream Warrior: A Viet Nam War Veteran’s Memoir is designed to capture the imagination as well as to provoke serious thought and reflection about one’s life. It continually asks the question: “Does a man have but one destiny?” How does a man or a woman get to be the person they become? What unknown forces determine what a person feels; what a person thinks; and what life a person gets to live? How does a person handle their thoughts and feelings? How does a person handle the adversities and challenges that they face throughout their life? And when a person reaches the “September of their years”, what gives them satisfaction when they look back at their life?
