About the Author

Bruce Leininger graduated from Fairleigh Dickinson University and earned an MA from Columbia University Graduate School. In 1990 he relocated to Dallas, Texas.

Bruce is currently a busy corporate executive, working as both president of Accelerated Performance Resources, LLC, a human resources consulting company he founded in 2002, and as director of Human Resources for Rotorcraft Leasing Company. Andrea Leininger pursued a professional ballet career after high school, dancing for ten years with various companies across the country. Her dance career took her to Dallas, Texas, where she met and married Bruce Leininger. After retiring from ballet, Andrea transitioned into a general accounting career, which she enjoyed until the birth of her son James in 1998, when she left work to become a full-time wife and mother. Andrea and her husband currently reside in Lafayette, Louisiana, and own their own human resources consulting business, Accelerated Performance Resources, LLC, for which she serves as a professional resume writer. She is also a gifted ballet teacher and enjoys teaching master classes for dance schools across the country, as well as serving as ballet director for Dance Graphics in Lafayette.

From AudioFile

Do the nightmares of a Louisiana boy mean he is the reincarnation of a downed WWII pilot? His parents make a case for just such a phenomenon as they detail their investigation into the facts behind his dreams. Paul Boehmer's tone is a little too astonished at times as he talks about James Leininger's obsession with airplanes and his uncanny knowledge of the details of a pilot's life. At the same time, though, Boehmer brings humanity to the story as he talks about the pilot's sister and surviving comrades. Whether or not listeners believe in reincarnation, Bruce Leininger's research casts an important light on the lives and deaths of the flyers who figure in his son's dreams.
