The Long Distance Man - Martin P. Hynes - Bog

The Long Distance Man is a story of travel and adventure; about how one can see the world by working their way to all the fabulous countries one might dream of visiting. I was born with an adventurous soul-one who enjoyed reading about the South Seas, Captain Cook, and other great sailors. When I read those stories, I thought, "I could do that!" And so, at age seventeen, I began my travels. Along the way, I met some interesting people, including Robert Mitchum, Bing Crosby, Governor Patrick Lucy and his wife, the Italian Ambassador to Egypt, actor Robert Conrad, James A. Michener, M.S. Faulkner, Johnny Cash, Jack Jones, and many other celebrities. I even met the Dalai Lama, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip (in 1953), and Chelsie Clinton at Stanford, California.
