Autorenporträt
Dave Molter grew up New Brighton, Pennsylvania, about 35 miles northwest of Pittsburgh. Here he lived a rather normal childhood by the standards of the times-the Fifties and Sixties. His first career choice was to be an English teacher. But at 15, he discovered the Beatles, and everything changed. At 21 he slipped the surly bonds of the Beaver River Valley and took up residence in the suburbs of the nearest large city that begins with a "P." And there he stayed, disguised as, among other things, a musician, writer, editor, retail manager and communications dude. Dave began writing humorous stories in the late 1950s to entertain himself and his friends. He is a two-time winner of the Pennsylvania Newspaper Publishers Association Keystone Press Award for column writing and nominated for Pittsburgh's Golden Quill Awards. Dave freelances today by writing a biweekly humor column for the Washington (Pa.) Observer-Reporter newspaper and as a contributing writer for Dead Center Magazine, a quarterly arts publication based in State College, Pa. Since 1965, Dave has played bass guitar in various rock bands. He still wants to be a Beatle.
