About the Author

This is my first book. It is an exiting time to have it published but I must apologize for some of the errors that have shown up. As soon as I learn how, I will submit corrections. A 77 year old like myself is an "Old Dog Learning New Tricks." Thanks for your interest and I hope you enjoy the effort, regardless of the poor stuff.

Biography
Born on a farm in 1935, mowed lawns, delivered papers, clerked and worked on farms as a kid. Brookfield, NY central school, SUNY College at Cortland, taught and coached for 27 years. Retired teacher , Air Force Sergeant,married once 54 years to date, weird sense of humor. Love the English language, outdoor sports and airplanes.

No reputation or agent required and no "Sorry, we do not need this genre at the present time." And it was a fun entry into the writers world!

This book is filled with nuggets of truth and insight; whether it be in hunter safety, the grandeur of nature's animals, the personality of a trusty

So many of the stories remind me of others like them. It's fun to think back on all the things you hear and personally know about in the field.
