Autorenporträt
Owen Loof is a Vietnam veteran, who has retired from two strikingly different careers. The first was a twenty-seven-year tenure at the New York City Transit Authority as a station agent. While still working for NYC Transit, he earned a master's degree in history from St. John's University. When Loof retired from his first post, armed with his pension and degree, he moved to Hawaii with his wife, Peggy. Through a miraculous happenstance, he was hired as an American history teacher at Damien Memorial School in the Kalihi section of Honolulu.After twelve years in idyllic Hawaii, life took an unexpected turn when his wife, Peggy, passed away. So he crossed the Pacific again and made his way back to his oceanside hometown, Rockaway Beach, New York, to be closer to his two daughters and his granddaughter. Rockaway will always be home.
