A FOUNTAIN OF FRIENDSHIP is the true story of a sailor, a ship, and a song. The sailor's name is Duane Hodges, the ship the USS Pueblo, and "The Lonely Bull," by Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass, was the Pueblo's theme song. On January 23, 1968, the Pueblo was attacked and hijacked in the Sea of Japan by North Korean military forces in international waters off their eastern shore. Of the 83 crewmen aboard the Pueblo that fateful day, one lone sailor was killed in action during the attack: 21-year-old United States Navy enlisted seaman Duane Daniel Hodges. But this is not the story of how this young sailor died that day. Rather, it's more about how simply and sublimely this young American lived the majority of his life right up to moment he left our crazy world and how he continues to live on in the memories of all who knew and loved him.

Bill Barker hails from what he likes to refer to as the greatest Garden State (New Jersey) in our union. The United States Navy sailed him out to the Evergreen State (Washington) a while back, washing him ashore as a civilian once more beside the sublime Salish Sea (for which he is most grateful) after a somewhat exhilarating seven-year stint in its storied submarine service. Bill has steadfastly refused to live anywhere else ever since. He is author of THE SOUND OF DIAMONDS: A MODERN ANTHOLOGY ABOUT LIFE AROUND PUGET SOUND.
