Autorenporträt
In the 1970s and early 80s, Ken Jones served as president of Offshore Logistics, Inc., and then later as chairman of the company renamed The Bristow Group. In the mid 1980s, he saw a bumper sticker on a used Cadillac Coupe De Ville with Louisiana license plates which told the whole story; "Please God, give us one more oil boom, and this time we promise not to screw it up."That was almost fifty years ago, and Ken hopes he doesn't screw up this memoir since he claims his mind is not what it once was. He is now in his late 80s. But what the hell, most everyone involved has gone to another venue by this time, so who is left to comment or criticize?Ken is the author of two previous books, Letters from the Skeleton Coast, and The Black Pearl Necklace.
