Part 1 • Part 2 • Part 3 • Part 4 • Part 5

In the summer heat of 1974, Manhattan with its compelling charm, challenged me with diverse jobs, and chance encounters. My cab-driving days led to an unexpected brush with power when policemen commandeer my taxi, providing a lesson in authority. From Rutgers graduate to Army officer, to detergent salesman, these steps led me through European adventures and a brush with typhoid fever. With humor, struggles, and a touch of serendipity, Episode 1 captures the unpredictable journey of seeking purpose and direction in the heart of the Big Apple.
