Autorenporträt
I was born in Portsmouth, New Hampshire...my home base until age eighteen or so....but I also lived in Rhode Island, Hawaii, California, Maine, Florida, and Connecticut. My father was a U.S.Navy man...a submariner. I served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. Was at Columbia University.. Have a degree from the Univ. Of N.H., and nineteen graduate credits. In 1967...moved to the Aleutian Islands. Unalaska/Dutch Harbor. Taught school a few years. Had a salmon gear permit...until the Japanese strung out illegal monofilament gill nets, twenty and twenty-five miles long. Thus...no pink salmon fishing for six years. Then "limited entry" entered, and I couldn't afford to buy a permit for seventy thousand dollars or so, or pay an attorney six thousand a year for renewal. Fished halibut. Worked for Unalaska Corporation and the city of Unalaska, laboring. Then was Parks Manager. Jigged for cod. Been to China four times, and to Nepal ten times. Maybe to Nepal next spring...2016. But this tells you little. You've got to meet a person.
