.      I am a graduate of Case-Western University, in Cleveland, Ohio, with a Bachelors degree in Chemistry. After graduation, I served in the army for two years; at the Chemical Warfare Laboratories in Maryland.  After Army service, I was employed for one year at the USDA labs in Philadelphia. Subsequently,, I had my most significant employment at the Agriculture Research Center, in Wooster, Ohio.  Iwas a technical assistant in the Entomology Dept.  I wasemployed there until retirement.    During my working years I had access to libraries where I spent much spare time, reading about subjects of interest.  I enjoyed reading, with this activity being more of a hobby.  My interest in writing also had a beginning at this time.   I feel that these experiences have contributed greatly to my ability to write about different scientific subjects; and to write some poetry that expresses my appreciation for the beauty to be found in the world of nature.           Having acquired a computer has enabled me to publish these poems and articles on the internet at this time, a writing effort thai I have been involved with over the years.  I have read some of the many books written by Isaac Asimov.  I admire his skill in communicating his knowledge about the world of science, particularly Astronomy.      I have always been singleand I feel that not being involved in raising a family has given me the opportunity to become a published author.              I hope that readers will find these subjectss of interest.                    

I was fortunate to find a publisher, Publish America, for the book "Evolution in the Universe: The Solar System and Beyond"
