Coming About: The Story of One Man’s Journey Through Life

by John K. “Jack” Jouett and Barbara Allen Burke

Paperback, 339 pages $19.95, plus shipping and handling

“You would think that, as the son of a celebrated pilot, I was born to fly . . . Nevertheless, my life’s journey led me not to the skies, but to open water.”

So begins Jack Jouett’s story of his adventures around the world and through nine decades of history. John “Jack” Jouett was born on a military base in San Antonio, Texas, his father an aviation pioneer and his mother the daughter of a prominent New England family. Still, Jack charted his own course. Follow him on his journey, whether he is exploring exotic Shanghai as a boy, trekking through the jungles of Burma, working in intelligence at the Pentagon, or sailing around the Virgin Islands. Traveling around the globe, from Taiwan to St. Thomas, from Panama to the Pacific Northwest, Jack shares his love of adventure and his willingness to see where the winds of his life would take him.
