Question: What do Geronimo, Amelia Earhart, Pancho Villa, Wyatt Earp, Amy Semple McPherson, Gene Autry, John Philip Sousa, Rex Allen, John Slaughter, Thornton Wilder, Eleanor Roosevelt-and the Nichols family have in common? Answer: All of them left footprints in Douglas, Cochise County, Arizona. "...out in the stillness of the hot desert; out where no one heard us or saw us. Out where the sky is big and the noonday sun never moves. Out where breezes are forbidden; where heat wins every argument. Out where the rocky ground is sharp and hot. Out where the spirit of the great Apaches slips silently along the desert floor. Out where water is only a mirage and shade comes only at night. Out where everything is about a hundred miles from here. Ah, the Southern Arizona desert. What a great place. What a special place!"

I began writing initial drafts of this memoir in late 1994, not knowing whereit would take me or when it would end. Though greatly expanded fromwhere I began, my intention is still for my memoir to be fairly focused . . .focused somewhat chronologically on personal and societal changes withinspecific generations of my family's and my country's past, including our legacywith wars. Some segments have been fast-forwarded through as they are impertinent,insignignicant, or reveal things too heavy to share. It's not my intentionto delve into gruesome war story after war story. I'm not strong enough forthat. Many of my specicific war experiences have been addressed in poemsand other writings, while some are unspeakable. If only the experienceswere erasable from memory. A few names and related details have been changed to protect the identitiesof those who have passed and their loved ones.

He wasn't disappointed, thanks to encounters with Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Rihanna, Puff Daddy, Kanye West, Kimberly Stewart, Noel Gallagher and Peter Kay, among others. He had no idea that he would also have to play detective, deal with cases of theft, cover up several potential sex and drugs scandals, rescue a starlet from the paparazzi and do his frantic best to save the life of a severely-injured guest. He also didn't expect to be finding concealed cameras in celebrities' bedrooms.A shocking, entertaining and sometimes hilarious account of life behind the scenes at a millionaires' hotel - and these are just the stories that canbe printed...
