The United States Air Force Air Rescue Service was established in 1946, to provide rescue service for civilian and military aircraft in distress. Jim Martin served as a navigator in the 76th Air Rescue Squadron at Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii from 1960 to 1965. It had often been suggested that he commit memories of some flights to paper. They include routine flights to provide rescue cover for fighters refueling over the Pacific, to interceptions of civilian and military aircraft in distress.The Mercury and Gemini Programs provided the rare opportunity to be the first earth-bound people to see a descending capsule relay the news to NASA: Capsule in sight-good chute! Those were exciting times. The Service earned great respect and lived up to its motto: That Others May Live.

The stories in this book recount my travels and education as a young man in the 1950's and 1960's as I learned about cold war, hot war, history and the cultures of our planet. Those years were a dynamic era for America and the World. Much has changed since that time, and there are many today who would like to erase or change our history. It is my hope that the reader will gain some insight into the reality of that period by seeing it through the eyes of an average serviceman.

teacher truths is a play that tells nine revealing stories of teachers in the trenches--their heartbreak, their frustration, their hopes, and their ideas. The play is meant to be a piece that can be performed or read and discussed as part of a school's professional learning repertoire. The hope is that the play offers nuggets of truth that teachers may not be willing to admit they have thought or said but that can generate discussion in education circles about true education reform.
