Trader Vic - City Trader? - General Tiki

Obviously this statement is mistake-ridden to say the least (!) but was Vic ever a city trader? I know he was in the restaurant business for years before the chain that bears his name. There were a couple of books about business that are by a 'Trader Vic', but I'd always thought these were by someone else. No doubt Vic's autobiography ('Frankly Speaking')would clear this one up, but I've yet to see a copy, never mind read it. Can anyone help? Trader Woody
