The author's first book, "You Are Never Alone" will give you more details from his tour and the part these orphans played in his life. That experience and love of children extended to the job of a lifetime, being Santa Claus. When asked how many children do you have? He answers, "Oh... about 25 Thousand! They range from age 5 days to 97 years of age." Most people are taken back, the author explains, "I never fathered children due to a decision I made in Vietnam, which now I regret. However, being Santa, that experience has helped fill the void."
