    Dave Ferman is a former high school English and science teacher, and a communications executive in the world's largest defense corporation. In 1956, he completed a tour as a U.S. Marine Grunt, a drill instructor, a military policeman, and a pilot. He also served in Sixth Fleet Air Intelligence with a clandestine atom bomber squadron in the Mediterranean Theatre, and on the West Bank and volatile "Green Line" between Israel and the Kingdom of Jordan. Along the way, he earned a succession of hard-to-get, easy-to-lose top U.S. security clearances that make him among the most highly vetted rookie authors in literature today. Uncle Sam trusts Dave Ferman. 
 While growing up in urban Kansas during the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl, World War II and the birth of Rock 'n' Roll, Dave had several unrelated but pleasant paranormal experiences. Curious and wishing for encores at age five, in denial at age 10, and comfortably nonjudgemental until age 44 when his deceased father visited Dave one evening during a period of extreme financial stress to assure him: “Don’t worry, son. Everything is going to be alright.“ and very soon it was. After that, Dave became a converted believer in some form of life after death. What other choices did he have? 
Dave’s message is twofold: “Don’t despair, if all goes well, you and your departed loved ones will be reunited in the hereafter,“ and “I am no longer afraid to die; and you should not be, either.“

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
“Stamped from the Beginning” by Ibram X. Kendi explores the history and evolution of racist ideas in America, tracing their roots from ancient times to the present. Kendi argues that racism is driven by self-interest rather than ignorance, examining how segregationist, assimilationist, and antiracist ideologies have shaped American society. The book delves into key historical moments, such as slavery, the Civil Rights Movement, and the rise of modern racial issues, offering a powerful critique of systemic racism. Through historical analysis and personal reflection, Kendi emphasizes the ongoing struggle for racial equality and justice in contemporary society.
