"What, Where, and How Much" were the key concerns of the author's
life for the seventeen exciting years that he lived in the Far East.
This epic journey started with him working for our Uncle Sam, sailing
Chinese junks in the South China Sea. After leaving Uncle Sam, he
started "smuggling" heavy boxes and people; money was hand-over-fist
and a small fortune was banked. Honk Kong nightlife, with "Long Dress
Dancers" and "Sing Sing Girls" was the tease of plenty of men, and
every seaport town had its own specialty, offering "Silk and Lace" to
the big spenders. You'll be able to read and feel the night breeze of
Singapore and see the steam coming off the food carts of Buogy
Street, as people watch the "Playgirls on Parade." Returning to
Hawaii, where he had grown up in poverty on a sugarcane plantation,
the author became a successful real estate developer, developing many
projects, several of which changed the skyline of Honolulu. Romances
along the way led to heartaches, the pain of which led him to his
next pursuit: poetry...the Sun "Peeking" stole the night..."My Little
Hummingbird" sat on air...and happiness was a new pair of shoes and a
"Love Mate" I didn't want to lose.
