Having lived and worked on three continents, Wayne Cooke has enjoyed a lifetime of memorable experiences. But they were only a prologue to his valiant and remarkable battle with stage IV cancer. Raised in Bowling Green, Ohio, the author earned a BBA with distinction from the University of Michigan. Following three years in the United States Navy, he returned to Michigan and earned his MBA, with distinction. After thirty years with IBM-and management positions that took him and his family to The Netherlands, Paris and Hong Kong-he retired and joined his wife selling residential real estate in Princeton, NJ. Despite having a clean colonoscopy in August 2000, the author was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer in November 2003. He has since undergone three major surgeries and over seventy cycles of chemo and infusional therapy, and has been a cancer survivor for six years. The author and his wife have two adult children, two grandsons, and reside in Princeton Township, New Jersey.
