Gary Beggs Nightstand Notes

Annotation

Airman Gary Beggs wanted to escape the hot desert of Libya where he was stationed in 1964, so he took a thirty-day leave to go to England. While he wanted a break from the noise, sweat, and sand, what he looked forward to most was flirting with English-speaking women for a changepreferably good-looking ones. By some type of godly intervention, he ended up in Denmark where he met a young Danish woman named Karin in a caf. Even though she was with another man, he knew he had to get to know her better. When Karin suddenly disappeared, a frustrated Beggs decided to leave Denmark for good. After he went to the ship that would take him away, he saw a sign that read, Ferry to Malmo, but it should have read, You are leaving the land of fables and fairy tales by Hans Christian Anderson and are now entering the twilight zone. Beggs looks back at a series of decisions that led to romance, intrigue, mystery, suspense, love, and every other emotion he could have imagined in The Nightstand Notesa true story filled with miracles, highs, and lows.
