Raymond A. Vaudo was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, in 1954. His father and mother had settled there after relocating from Gaeta, Italy, in 1947. Raymond is a dual citizen of the United States and Italy (comune di Gaeta.)
At the age of four, Raymond and his parents moved to San Pedro, California, a coastal community in Southern California that has a Mediterranean climate and geographical features much like Gaeta, the place where the family roots are deeply planted. Raymond grew up, married, had two sons, and still resides in San Pedro with his wife.
Raymond holds a bachelor’s degree in marketing and a master’s degree in business administration from California State University, Long Beach. He had a successful career as a leader in the U.S. Federal government and now serves as a management and training consultant.
In his mid-60s, Raymond reviewed old recordings and documents that his father left for him before he died in 2000. His father had mentioned that he wanted “his story” told. The result was the publication of the book, A Gaetano in America, by Ali Ribelli Edizioni, in his father’s birthplace of Gaeta, Italy. The success achieved with this publication has inspired Raymond to write additional works related to his heritage and other interests.

Questa è la storia inedita di un orgoglioso italiano di nome Pietro Paolo Vaudo, nato a Gaeta, in Italia, nel 1915. Attraverso le sue memorie, Pietro Paolo ci condurrà in un viaggio insieme appassionante e difficile che innalza sul podio della vita un esempio di uomo che non ha smesso mai di perseverare e credere nella propria determinazione.
Nato in una famiglia di pescatori viene educato alla prudenza dal padre e temprato dalla forte personalità del fratello Antonio. Il desiderio di conoscenza e la voglia di andare oltre, a poco meno di venti anni, lo portano ad entrare nella Marina Militare ignaro di quanto sarebbe stato lungo il periodo di leva ed il successivo arruolamento. Dopo l’otto settembre 1943 si apre un capitolo della vita fatto di prigionia e astuzia per districarsi dalle infinite trappole che la triste condizione paventava. Emerge in ogni parola, in ogni frase, lo spirito di un uomo buono, coraggioso e forte che si fa insieme traino e compagno… quel compagno che tutti vorremmo avere.
Finita la guerra, il ritorno a Gaeta e la ripartenza… Stavolta l’America, il suo sogno, diventerà realtà, percorrendola da est a ovest non senza un’incursione in Canada, rientrando dal quale potrà finalmente essere cittadino americano, con Gaeta nel cuore, anche se non vi farà mai più ritorno, e l’amore riversato nel figlio Raymond.
