The exquisite diamond necklace featured in the picture, and on the book cover, was borrowed from Joe's Jewelry International, Philipsburg, St. Maarten. During November 1998, I made a
trip to St. Maarten and visited several jewelry stores along Front Street. Joe's warmth and friendliness outshone their competition a thousand fold. We chatted about diamonds,
mountings and The Captain's Fund. They offered to drape me in diamonds if I wanted to return and shoot the book cover. All I could think of was the beautiful Ms. Monroe singing
"Diamonds are a girl's best friend..." and so I said YES. |
