Born March 25, 1937, Avoca, Iowa at home on a family farm. Attended a one room country school for two years. At age fifteen upon the death of my father, I became a janitor of the Macedonia, Iowa Consolidated School. Age sixteen and served twenty years in submarines. After I retired from the Navy, went computerized maintenance department. Starting out life in the "cash n' carry" world, where needs and savings were the law we lived by. At the age of sixty, after working all my able life, I just stopped going to work. I have a wonderful partner. She and I have been together for thirty-two years travelling the world extemsively. I don't know if I am a writer or just a story teller that can uniquely connect the dots.
