Ronan Short was born in London, England in 1940 and brought up at the British National Institute for Medical Research, where his father was in charge of the animal division. This new volume, Three Years in America, 1963-1966, begins in the 'vast metropolis' of Dobbs Ferry, New York, near Ardsley, where Ronan first worked in the US and covers his jaunts as a young man with new American friends and fellow British ex-pats in Edgewater, NJ and New York City. He then voyages across the US and up the west coast by car, with many adventures, finally arriving in Alaska in August 1966.
Autorenporträt
Ronan Short was born in London, England soon after the start of World War II. After twenty-three years of an event-filled youth, he emigrated...first to New York, and eventually to Fairbanks, Alaska by 1966. He has had an 'Alaskan career' from senior marine technician to lowly laborer, from university lecturer in creative writing to commercial fisherman, and from state environmental specialist to DEW line teamster steward, and so on. He and his wife of 40+ years, Barbara Rinker, have two grown daughters and four wonderful grandchildren-well, most of the time.
