March 28th Meeting with Kenneth R. Strange
Details
The Camino de Santiago is both quest and pilgrimage, goal and process. It is not a journey for the faint of heart or the soft of foot. People embark on the five-hundred mile, thirty-one day trek from the Pyrenees Mountains in France to the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Spain for all sorts of reasons--religious, spiritual, physical, and personal. For author Kenneth R. Strange Jr. and his wife, Aurora, walking the Camino is about adventure and a lifelong love of Spain, both of which shine through in "It's Your Camino. "Reliving their journey in "It's Your Camino" is an inspiration, a joy and a must read!" - -Martin Sheen, actor in the movie "The Way."
Kenneth R. Strange Jr. (1955- ) was born in Brooklyn, New York. He spent a Junior Year abroad in Spain studying at the University of Madrid, Facultad de Letras y Filosofia. Ken later taught high school Spanish and English as a Second Language in New York and the Middle East.
Following in the law enforcement career shoes of his father, an NYPD officer, Ken later served as Special Agent with the FBI and DOJ OIG in Newark, NJ, Washington DC, El Paso, TX and Los Angeles, California.
A lifelong writer, Ken is also a Private Investigator (PI) and works as an overseas consultant for NGOs and non-profit organizations. With a passion for the outdoors, he and his wife, Aurora, enjoy hiking and have climbed the highest mountain in the contiguous United States, Mount Whitney (14,505 feet).
"Being kissed by author Ray Bradbury at a book signing event in Los Angeles was one of the great highlights of my life. I told him (Bradbury) he was my childhood favorite and that I spent hours on end at the public library reading his works. Tears welled up in his eyes and he kissed me. What a blessing!"
