John said of his writing, “My Dad’s life and his experiences as a Detroit Policeman motativated me to write, In 1928 Immigrant’s Son becomes a Policeman. This story was based on my memories of stories I heard while growing up and my own personal experiences.

Several years after I wrote my first story, I found three of my father’s notebooks dated 1948.  After reading his notebooks it made me aware of my Fathers’ ideas about the future and the depth of his interpretation of social disorders, which motivated me to write, “The Vision and Prophecies of a Patrolman written in 1948.” I found out my father, besides being a policeman was a Preacher and Prophet. I started with his recording of Jesus’ life because he was a devoted Christian.  I included many quotes Michael made from the bible and about the history and the problems of Christian Churches.  The Christian religion gave birth to our laws here in America. He felt a struggle after WW2 was beginning with our legal system because many in the government and in the public question the Christian beliefs. This lack of belief was leading to changes in the laws of our country. Our new laws would be either the law reason law or the law of will. I felt it important to include what Michael witnessed one night in 1941.  He felt blessed to have seen the trinity, I included his drawing of what he saw.  In the last chapter I labeled as the World’s mysteries, I felt what he wrote here was an appropriate end to his story.
