Mark Hopkins grew up in 1950s Denver when kids walked to school and didn't have to be home until the streetlights came on. He was close and loving with his dad, Glenn, but the depth of true friendship always eluded them as they couldn't get past the father/son roles. That pattern was repeated with Mark's sons until he and Frazier went trucking together and the titles of "dad" and "son" became pointless. Mark lives in Elk, Washington, with his wife, Darlene, whose desire to hear more of the two zany guy's travels resulted in this book, which he started writing in 1996. Mark flew jets for thirty-five years, two of which were in Vietnam, and he never hurt a passenger nor dinged an airplane. This novel is fictional and is based upon his recollections. See less
