PETE TRAVELED THE WORLD TWICE BY THE AGE OF SISTEEN. ONCE, WHILE ON A SOLO EXCURSION IN KAZAKHSTAN, HE LOST HIS PASSPORT. (NOT A HEALTHY PRACTICE NEAR THE ARAL SEA) TOO PROUD TO USE FAMILY CONNECTIONS AT THE UNITED STATES EMBASSY, PETE TRADED HIS CARTIER WATCH FOR A FAKE PASSPORT AND SOME QUESTIONABLE CURRENCY. TWELVE DAYS LATER, IN A PRE 9-11 WORLD, PETE ENTERED THE UNITED STATES AS, “IKEM KUZULTOLKE.”

PETE’S DAD INSISTED HE BECOME PROFICIENT IN THE ARTS SO HE STUDIED MUSIC, SCULPTURE, AND PAINTING, PETE DEVELOPED A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LOVELY ISLAND GOVERNOR'S DAUGHTER. .

UPON GRADUATION, PETE SERVED AS THE YOUNGEST DIPLOMATIC ATTACHÉ TO TAHITI. IN THIS NEW POST, CRISIS WAS QUICK. PETE, CONFRONTED BY AN ISLAND-WIDE STRIKE AND KNOWING ISLAND CUSTOMS FROM SABA, WROTE AND PASSED, "THE TAHITIAN SARONG ACT." THANKS TO HIS CLEVER USE OF DIPLOMACY, THE ISLAND CRISIS NEVER TURNED VIOLENT. AS OF THIS WRITING, THE ACT IS STILL IN FORCE.
DESPITE SUCCESS WITH DIPLOMACY, THE PRESSURE TO SPEAK TRUTH WAS TOO STRONG.
AGAINST ALL ADVICE HE ENTERED THE FIELD OF SHOW BUSINESS.
