What better way than to celebrate moving into 2017 like those who celebrated going into 1967 .... COMING 2017-2018 the non-fiction crime book " The Last Gentleman Smuggler " by Steven M . Kalish and Nikki Palomino ...." You ' ve had the Cocaine Cowboys , George Jung , Barry Seal , the Hippie Mafia and the Biggest Pot Dealer in New York City ’ s History , now you ' ve got Skip , the fulcrum between Panama , Colombia , the US War On Drugs , Rock ' n Roll and Beautiful Women ."

They wanted to search the vessel . Steve was there checking out the boat and was acting like he was working on the electronics , and when I took the guys down in the cargo hold , Steve walked off the boat and drove away .

The story behind something bigger than The French Connection ...
