Introduction Peter Fowler was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, in 1924. During his high school years he suffered from acute stage fright. He took public speaking at the University of California, Berkeley, trying, in vain, to conquer his fear of facing an audience, before volunteering for active duty in the Army Air Corps. He received his wings in 1944 and spent a year in the Air Transport Command flying C-46 transports in North Africa. After the war he became a fighter pilot in the Hawaii Air National Guard and subsequently retired from the military after 20 years of service. He completed his aviation career as an airline captain and retired after 32 years of service with Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. Shortly after he retired he joined Toastmasters, International and finally learned how to stand up and face an audience with conviction, posture, and confidence, without fear. He achieved their highest award, that of Distinguished Toastmaster, and was recognized for his outstanding accomplishments, his leadership, and excellence. He has three adult children. Then he decided to move to Rosarito Beach, he sold just about everything he owned except for the few items he could put into his car along with his cat. When he arrived, he checked in at a hotel and started looking for a place to live. He had some questions about visas, Mexican real estate laws, and border crossing including the SENTRI pass. He had heard that in Mexico, unlike the USA, a person is guilty until proven innocent. Someone suggested he visit Olivia del Corral, director of FRAO which stands for Foreign Residents Assistance Office. FRAO's responsibilities include getting the kind of information he was looking for out to the gringo community.
