About this Event
In the winter of 1980 Rod Haynes was broke and all but homeless, on the streets of Seattle. Six months later, on a sunny parade field at the Newport, Rhode Island, Navy base, the author accepted his commission as an officer in the United States Navy. His remarkable ten-year journey took him around the world, including Guantanamo Bay, Italy, Beirut, Israel, and France. This honest, engaging narrative shares Haynes' journey of self-discovery as the Cold War was ending.
Rod Haynes, a native of Limerock, Rhode Island, is a former naval officer and retired federal employee. Haynes has published five books, most recently Unauthorized Disclosures: A Navy Memoir of the 1980s. A writer, teacher, and photographer in his retirement, Haynes can be reached at www.rodhaynesbooks.com. He holds degrees from Boston University and Ripon College. Haynes has taught U.S. History classes, specializing in the American Civil War. Haynes lives in Bellingham, Washington, with his wife Daria.
