Autorenporträt
Charles Fasanaro Charles Fasanaro withdrew from his graduate studies in chemistry at North Carolina State University in 1967 to work for Behavior Systems, Inc., training dogs to detect landmines and trip wires in Vietnam. In 1969, he went to Vietnam as a civilian volunteer to work on a secret project designed to identify innocent villagers from the Viet Cong as well as to assist the mine-dog platoon members. His work saved many lives. When he returned from Vietnam, he earned his M.A.R. with distinction from the Iliff School of Theology and his Ph.D. in philosophy of religion from the joint doctoral program at Iliff/University of Denver. His 50+ years of teaching included faculty positions at the University of Colorado at Boulder and St. John's College in Santa Fe, NM. He earned the RL Stearns Award for Outstanding Faculty Achievement at CU-Boulder (the university's highest honor), Master Scholar from the University of Denver, and Alumni of the Year at Iliff. Ever since he returned from Vietnam in 1969, he has been counseling combat veterans, helping them to conquer PTS, and transition to productive citizens and family members. Alan Taylor In addition to being a freelance writer for many decades contributing numerous articles for regional and national publications on a variety of subjects, Alan Taylor taught composition at the University of Colorado, Boulder, from 1986-1993, earned his M.A. in Liberal Arts from St. John's College in Santa Fe, NM, then taught English at Santa Fe Preparatory School in Santa Fe, NM, for 19 years, where he was honored with the Griffin Chair for Inspirational Teaching and the Shelton/Whitehill Grant for Teaching Excellence.
