Donald J. "DJ" Humphrey II is the son of Lt. Col. Donald J. Humphrey, a United States Army Air Force B-29 bomber pilot in World War II.
After the war, while still in his twenties, my father put the experiences he had in the Malayan jungle on paper in what I would call a rough manuscript. Through the years, he was always on the search for the right person to write and publish his remarkable, almost unbelievable, story. Then time ran out on him and he never did find the right person to write and publish his story about the 8 miraculous months he spent in the jungle.
I never thought of writing it myself through those years. I was always looking for someone else to write the book for him. I was busy with my real estate career in Palm Desert, CA.
Now retired after a 30-year career as a real estate broker and because the pandemic kept me locked inside my home, I had the time to write my father's book. Since I enjoyed writing in college, which likely helped me graduate as valedictorian of my class with a bachelor's degree in biblical studies, I felt that my education and experiences had prepared me for this unique opportunity to write my father's fascinating true story of survival, faith, and salvation. I decided to give it a try and it seems everyone likes the results.
I hope my father is looking down from heaven with a proud and pleased smile, knowing that his son finally wrote the book he always wanted to be written and published.
