Bio
My life has been a testament to bad judgment and wishful thinking. However, my wife of 45 years said she knew of nothing in the record to justify such unfettered optimism.
I'm one of the last of the generation of rural veterinarians who worked with cows that had names and personalities and dairymen who worked in the barn with their families. I'm also part of the first wave of Baby Boomers, crusty codgers who are writing their wills and grousing about 40 to 50 year-old kids who can be damned condescending at times.
I practiced bovine medicine in rural Wisconsin for nineteen years, returned to graduate school at the University of Minnesota, earned a PhD in microbiology, and spent the next nineteen years working on the development of bovine and swine vaccines. I've been writing novels in retirement.
