Storms Over Luxembourg
I was born in Italy on the Rubicon River (yeah right, that's where Julius Caesar on January 10, 49 BC said 'Alea Jacta est' [The die is cast] for posterity. I grew up and was educated in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. I worked for Luxair, Luxembourg's airline. In the mid-seventies I caught the computer bug (incurable virus). I moved to Paris, worked for an international telecommunications company, as a marketing manager for the computer services division. Later I transferred to Atlanta, Georgia, USA, arriving there on February 29, 1984 on Eastern (defunct) airline. I traveled to ninety-eight countries. Monday in Atlanta, Wednesday in Rio, Saturday in Madrid. It sounds glamorous, but it isn’t. In 2001, we said: enough with the glamorous life, we moved to St. Simons Island, GA. Six years later, we said: enough with island life! Let's move to a city. So we moved to Jacksonville, Florida. In 2007 I published a book entitled 'St. Donatus, Iowa. A Luxembourg Village' (Don't bother looking for it, it's sold out). In 2009 I published 'Storms Over Luxembourg' as an e-book, recounting World War I events that engulfed the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. 'Luxembourg On My Mind, Volume 1' and 'The American Aunt' were published in 2011 and 'Luxembourg On My Mind, Volume 2' in 2012.  I lecture about the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, as well as other subjects, at events and venues, including at the University of North Florida (UNF). I speak English, French, German, Italian and .. Lëtzebuergesch, the official language of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. My wife, Marcia, and I have been adopted by Olivia and Bailey of the feline species, who allow us to share their living quarters, as long as we feed them and clean up after them. Life could be worse!
