Adventures of a First Year Teacher in a Third World Country is a collection of the authors experiences in Bolivia during the 1980s. It describes his encounter with a Nazi war criminal, the surgery he performed on his own foot, and the time a policeman tried to shoot him. Sometimes humorous, sometimes touching, but always interesting, this description of Bolivia and its people takes the reader to a part of the world most Americans seldom see.

For the past dozen years I have enjoyed writing and have written several short stories and a math book. I lived in Bolivia for a year, teaching high school science. This book is about my experiences.
I have lived on four continents and have always enjoyed travel. I was driven to write this book was because of my father. He was with the Flying Tigers in China during the Second World War and had dozens of fascinating anecdotes about his experiences there. He died before he was able to give me more than a few stories. Although my experiences are not as significant as his, I didn’t want to have this information lost.
I live in northwest Arkansas with my wife of 28 years. I am a retired physics and calculus teacher and relax by reading, travel, and playing computer games.
