My grandparents came from Ukraine in 1900. I was born on December 25, 1940, in Northern Minnesota in a small very rural farmhouse less than a mile from the 49th Parallel near a place called Caribou. We moved to Fargo, North Dakota, when I was nine years old.
At age eighteen, I left home to work as a topographer/mapmaker with the U.S. Geological Survey. Over the next twenty-four years, I lived in nineteen different states in seventy different towns. In austral summer 1985–86, I worked in Antarctica on a mapping assignment in the Transantarctic Mountains. Our base station was located on Bowden Neve, halfway between McMurdo Station and the South Pole.
A field assignment in 1962 in Stratford, Wisconsin, where I met my wife to-be, ended my single years; Kris and I were married on September 21, 1963. Our three children were born in different states (Illinois, Minnesota, and Arkansas). After USGS, I worked as a land surveyor for eight years in the private sector in Florida.
I have been a writer in one capacity or another for most of my adult life, including newspaper articles and esoteric stories in a USGS newsletter.
Kris and I currently live in Wausau, Wisconsin.visualizza meno
