This first installment tells the part of his life story that lead up to the rollercoaster of raising a family during the roaring ‘50s and ‘60s, the productive years of world-wide involvement in business and politics, and the drama of moving to Thailand at age 76, where he was stuck at the apex of a love triangle between a rich and powerful woman, and a poor country school teacher.
