From the Shadow of Coyote Mountain to the Base of Mount Diablo (P2)
This a story from the book I wrote upon turning 80
From the Shadow of Coyote Mountain to the Base of Mount Diablo
From poverty in the depression to the Marines and beyond the life struggles and successes I have had.
Eighteen with a Bullet
This is my story. Except for the occasional flights of fancy, it is all true. It is the story of growing up in a large, poor, dysfunctional Catholic family. I describe in detail the abuse by my cruel, mentally ill parents. I tell of my bizarre neighbors, ten years of Catholic schools, where I was subjected to brainwashing and brutality by Catholic nuns, brothers and priests. I describe my youth in Long Beach, CA, and the amazing friends I made there. I tell of brutal cops, of drunken brawls, of cruising and raising Hell, of many brushes with death. I describe in detail the inhuman brutality of the Marine Corps as they forged a boy into a man. It is a detailed, graphic journey through the horror of the Vietnam War, where 90% of my unit were either killed or wounded fighting the North Vietnamese and Vietcong. I describe how I met my Korean 'Mail Order Bride' and our happy forty year marriage. It tells of my 40 year struggle with PTSD and how I finally overcame it. It is also a story of surviving the Feminist’s 50 year war against men and their children. It is a tale of utter desolation, and ultimate redemption. Lastly, it harks back to my inevitable loss of innocence, back when dreams were still possibilities, back when I was literally 18 with a bullet. I hope you enjoy my journey.
