About the Author

Frank McGees career as writer, editor and foreign correspondent spans critical decades of the 20th Century. In the turbulent 60s he became a photojournalist in Brazil, and saw assignments in Indonesia, Thailand, and Viet Nam. As managing editor of the now-defunct magazine PACE, he worked with thought leaders from around the world.The authors education was unconventional. As a young man in post WWII Europe he worked with the nation-rebuilding program of Moral Re-Armament. Through the auspices of the Swiss-based Good Road leadership program, under teachers and mentors such as Lord Beaverbrooks chief political writer, the Rector of Zurich University, and the first President of Nigeria, he specialized in communications, performing arts and sociology. In Newport Beach, California, McGee founded and for a decade edited New Worlds, then the principal magazine published between Los Angeles and San Diego. When the University of California at Irvine (UCI) reached its first quarter century, McGee was asked to write The First 25 Years, the keepsake book commemorating the milestone.For four years, the author edited and published an innovative offshore powerboat-racing program for the Bushmills Grand Prix, held at Newport Beach, during which time the race grew from the smallest on the worldwide circuit to the largest. Distribution of the publication grew to 500,000, the largest circulation sporting event program on record. As author and ghostwriter for a major international corporation, McGee wrote and edited books that were translated into numerous languages and sold in the hundreds of thousands. As a freelancer he wrote widely circulated marketing and public relations collateral, and produced concepts and copy for advertising agencies. He is currently completing his first novel and serves on the Board of Directors of the Greater Oro Valley Arts Council (GOVAC) near Tucson, Arizona. McGee met the Colwell brothers and Herb Allen, the protagonists of A SONG FOR THE WORLD, when they were still in their teens. He has followed their remarkable story ever since.
