Episode 03 Rufus McGaugh

RuFUs! Tommy reunites with 8th grade Social Studies teacher that has TRAVELED to EVERY COUNTRY on EARTH! His newest, funniest and most self deprecating book yet on all his world travels is available now on Amazon! "Travels, Treasures, and Tales of a Nomad". Rufus was born and raised in Michigan and interrupted his college education with a 2-year stint in the Marine Corps, serving in the jungles of the Que Son Mts. of Vietnam. He was a grunt machine-gunner and wounded in December of 1970. Finishing his degree, he embarked on a teaching career that has now spanned 46 years. Rufus completed his quest to visit every country in the world in May of 2017. A highly dangerous trip where he literally had to stay one step ahead of ISIS, Al-Qaeda, and tribal terrorists, in his travels, he has now been to all 50 states, all 7 continents (with a 74 degree below zero temperature in Antarctica), and 258 countries and lands. He has written FOUR books in a humorous fashion about his experiences, and in the opinion of this former student, well worth the read.
