Michael Ruggiero is a retired law enforcement officer with 35 years of experience, 31 of which were spent with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office in Orlando, Florida. During his tenure, Ruggiero was involved in investigating major cases related to Narcotics, Sex Crimes, Internal, and Persons. He spent 10 years in Homicide as a detective and supervisor.

Ruggiero began training in Central Florida 20 years ago and has been teaching Interview and Interrogation for over 15 years in Advanced Training. In addition, he has been teaching courses in Death Investigations and Detecting Deception for the last 10 years. The Detecting Deception class, which he teaches to law enforcement officers around the U.S. through Public Agency Training Council (PATC.com), is a 2 ½ or 3-day class that focuses on the 3 ways people can be deceptive: writing, body language, and statement analysis (the words used).

Ruggiero formed his own training company, Police Training Institute, several years ago, and is also an instructor for PATC.com. In 2022, he authored a book titled “Uncover the Truth,” which provides insight into the skills of body language and statement analysis. These tools are not just useful for police, but for anyone conducting investigations or even those who are interested in detecting when people are deceptive.

Ruggiero is passionate about teaching and always strives to bring investigators to another level and enable them to utilize tools many didn’t know were available. He is currently in the process of writing a follow-up book on conducting more effective Interviews and Interrogations. His ultimate goal is to influence the way in which investigations are conducted in the future, by training investigators to do their job at a higher level.

Dr Alda Sainfort is a Board-Certified Holistic Care Specialist and founder of Advanced Healing Wellness Center, located in Pembroke Pines, Florida. The centre has been serving the neighbouring and international communities for over a decade.

Dr Sainfort has dedicated over 25 years of her life to medical studies and is on a quest to explore and gain an understanding of how to heal intergenerational or inherited pain, emotions, trauma and patterns. After acquiring a Doctorate Degree in General Medicine, she began her career at the University of Miami Hospital in Investigative Clinical Trial Research. She held that position for a few years; then went on to pursue post-Doctorate Studies in Ayurvedic Medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine/Acupuncture, and Sufi Studies & Spiritual Healing. She subsequently attended the University of Spiritual Healing and Sufism (USHS) in California where she obtained a master’s degree in divinity (MDiv).  As a healer, she has received insights that led her to research and deepen her knowledge by exploring, learning and formulating different methods to address lineage-related emotional scars associated with inherited lineage patterns, PTSD, or childhood trauma.

Being always on a quest for truth, she was always curious about ancestral relationships with the living. Some beliefs attest that when a person dies, life is over; yet, others and biblical scriptures confide that life is eternal; she was always perplexed by that dichotomy.

She has hosted many family lineage healing, and detoxification & rejuvenation retreats throughout the USA and abroad for many years. She has helped transform the health and lives of many, including adults, children, couples, and families with personal, intergenerational, and spiritual health issues. Dr Sainfort is optimistic that a combined approach of Western and Eastern medicine, and a Spiritual healing approach could deliver comprehensive results and more complete care for the population at large. That is the Holistic Approach to health and wellness she advocates.

The song was written for her by her lover Ewan MacColl in early 1957. He sang it down a crackling transatlantic phone line to Peggy who had returned to the USA, unwilling to continue an affair with a married man. That was the only time he ever sang the song which went on to become one of the greatest love songs of all time. “It was a hell of a way to woo me back!” says Peggy.

With a simple and moving piano accompaniment, Peggy’s new interpretation reflects on the memory of overwhelming love, now tempered with a deep mature knowledge of its fragility and fleetingness. The final verse is telling; often recorded by others as “I knew our joy would fill the earth”, Peggy sings the original and far more poignant “I thought our joy would fill the earth and last til the end of time”. 

Peggy says, “I’ve had two life partners, one male and one female, and I have three children and 9 grandchildren. I’ve come to realise that the lyrics can be interpreted in so many ways. Ewan wrote the tune to mimic the heartbeat of someone wildly in love and I used to feel like a soaring bird when I sang this song. Now I’m grounded within it and that makes me happy.”

The 2023 recording is a family affair with Peggy & Ewan’s sons Neill & Calum MacColl, and the official video by their daughter Kitty MacColl. It’s released for the 67th anniversary of verse 2 (The first time ever I kissed your mouth…..)

There are over 1000 cover versions on Spotify alongside Roberta Flack’s iconic recording. Artists including Elvis, Johnny Cash, Shirley Bassey, Johnny Mathis, Celine Dion, George Michael, Janet Kay, Miley Cyrus, Paul Potts & James Blake have all stamped their personal marks. In 2022 The Killers performed it live on a world tour. Peggy says, “I love hearing all the different ways that singers make the song their own. It’s testament to the universal story and the brilliant storytelling - it’s deceptively simple yet so powerful.”
