Curiosity is a trait I would exhibit from infancy to adulthood. It wasn't until forty years after this photo was taken that my father and I would regain the closeness we had in 1950, shortly before my parents' separation.

While with the military police in 1969, I was part of a special unit that regularly trained to protect VIPs who traveled through the occupied territories. That's me at the top.

Eventually I transferred from the Army to the Navy. Here Rear Admiral Zceve Almog congratulates me on my promotion to major as Bella looks on.

Standing on an American aircraft carrier docked in the port of Haifa, 1981. Because I could speak English fluently, I often served as a liaison to American ships.

On my second trip to Amman, I again met with Jordanian Intelligence and advised them on how. to set up a spy network. Shown here is my ticket for the Royal Jordanian Airlines flight.

Had I known, before I boarded the EgyptAir flight, that I would be incarcerated upon landing in Cairo, I'm sure I wouldn't have gotten on the plane. As it was, I eventually succeeded in gaining the confidence of Egyptian Intelligence and helped avert several operations launched by Mossad extremists.
