Editorial : About the Author
Howdy Giles served in the Navy, first as an intern in the San Diego Naval Hospital and finally as a dentist aboard the USS Fulton. Along with his love for photography, Howdy is an avid golfer. He lives in Wilmington, Delaware. James Dodson is an author who wrote a regular column in Golf Magazine for almost 20 years. His 1996 book Final Rounds the Golf Book of the Year Award from the International Network of Golf. He lives in Southern Pines, North Carolina. Arnold Palmer is a professional golfer who is generally regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of men's professional golf. He has won numerous events on both the PGA Tour and Champions Tour, dating back to 1955.
Howdy and Arnold’s friendship began with a rather ordinary encounter nearly 50 years ago when Howard Giles snapped a simple photograph of his hero passing in a parade; it has since grown into a remarkable friendship between an American legend and his most ardent fan. Since that time, Giles has conservatively snapped more than a quarter-million photographs of Palmer. Sharing never-before-seen images of Palmer on and off the golf course over the past four decades, The King and I explores one of the most charismatic figures in the history of the game, from intimate private moments to extraordinary public events. The book is told with refreshing candor and wit by perhaps the ultimate fan of the man and also includes entertaining commentaries from Jack and Barbara Nicklaus, former President George H.W. Bush, Gov. Tom Ridge, and a host of colorful former and current PGA Tour stars.

This is so you!" (in a good way). She opens up about therapy, medication and confronting her demons, mostly successfully. Several of those books were rated higher than this one with many more reviews. I remember well my first flight on one of Braniff's Lockheed Electra II's and my trepidation due to the previous models well publicized fatal crashes in late 1959 and two in 1960, one of which had occurred on a flight from Houston to Dallas. There is not sugar-coating and everyone gets a trophy. You must try it to understand. Well written and kept my interest. Should be updated asap, as no figures appear in the text and equations are just garbled collections of letters and numbers. When he was convinced of her innocence he was all in and the romance between them was hot. I really liked this book. I
