Sobre IBD

This book is dedicated to all of you reading my thoughts about my China experiences. I have met many people over my lifetime and each of them has given me some insight into what this world is all about and made me appreciate the title of the 1966 Clint Eastwood movie: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. I am grateful for the patience and understanding of all my family, my wife Kim, my daughter Christine and her family, my son Brian and his family, and my four grandsons, Henry, Mason, Charlie, and Jordan. I would like to thank all my friends who encouraged me to write this book, and I hope you will enjoy the awkward ways of my worldview.
