I have had various odd jobs in the past until I recently retired. Examples include working with Steven Spielberg as assistant director in a film called "1941". I was supervisor and later became Public Relations representative for the Toyota Group - USA. My last occupation was a Senior Research analyst working in Silicon Valley for a major Japanese newspaper. Christine Aragon, my spouse, has retired from a life of international travel with the airlines. We have spent half of our life together as world adventures. We look forward to writing other books embracing themes from foreign countries. We now live in swampy Louisiana.view less
