He attended a one room country school in Moody County, South Dakota, and graduated from the Fairview Consolidated High School, a small rural school in Buena Vista County, Iowa.
Together with their mother and father, the author and his brothers farmed with horses and lived through the economic depression and drought years of the 1930''s. Learning how to read in that country school with one teacher for all eight grades opened up the world.
University studies first took him to the University of Sioux Falls, a small liberal arts school in Sioux Falls, South Dakota; a degree in Agronomy from South Dakota State University in Brookings and a Masters Degree from the University of Wisconsin in Madison.
During military service in Korea he witnessed the realities of life for some people, who died from hunger and cold. That experience caused him to think seriously of a vocation aimed at alleviating some of the World''s ills.
Like The Rings Of A Tree is the first book the author has written. Some of his short stories were published in a literary journal, The South Dakota Review, and church related publications. The author is 74 years old and lives in retirement with his wife of 49 years in Claremont, California. ver menos
