About the Author

Felipe B. Nery was born in Shanghai, China of Macanese parents. The Macanese race was originated in the once Portuguese Colony of Macau. It comprised of the union of a Portuguese individual with the natives of Macau during the period when Portugal was granted the use of Macau, between 1557 and 1999 roughly about 442 years when employing it as a trading post. On December 20, 1999 Macau was officially returned to China by Portugal and the Macanese race was consequently involved in what is described as a Diaspora which separated them permanently from Macau. Felipe B. Nery and his wife left Shanghai in 1950 after the takeover of Shanghai by the Chinese Communist regime. He and his wife settled temporarily in Macau pending their emigration to the U.S.A. In the U.S.A. Felipe first worked for Oceanic Forwarded Co. then he worked for Wm. Zappetini and Co. (a wholesale florist) and C.J. Worth Drayage Co. He finally worked for the California State Public Utilities Commission, Transportation Division. For 22 years Felipe attended college in the evenings and achieved a Bachelor of Science Degree in Transportation. He has written and published three books and an autobiography.
