About the Book

“You must be a hundred years old to have done everything you have done”. These were the dumbfounded words of a friend when he read a draft of this amazing book. Walter Bregman has done it all from running a defense plant when he was in grade school to founding and managing what became “the best small resort in the US Virgin Islands”. In between he flew airplanes, founded an airline, climbed mountains, “shot” rapids, played the drums at a jazz club in Manhattan, golfed with the pros, raced sports cars, literally traveled the world and much, much more. In this hugely entertaining, down to earth, highly personal “tell all” biography you will laugh and cry with this remarkable man. Open this book and get ready for an experience you won’t soon forget.
