Briefly, here
is what Richard has been up to: He was a
photographer
in the U.S. Navy and, later, for General
Dynamics/Pomona.
He has sold cars, furniture, and for many
years,
real estate. He retired in June of 2002 from the Shasta
County
Assessor's Office
where he had appraised residential real estate for the previous 16
years.
He enjoys camping, hiking, fishing, and writing.
His latest work, a novel titled, "The Next - an omen"
is available in paperback
and on Kindle. The novel now has its own web site,
thenext-anomen.com
where you can learn more about it.
Richard also likes to build stuff such as garages, and even houses (Rocky Top).
And,
he
is adept at learning things the hard and
sometimes painful way.
He believes that
climate change, brought about
by Global Warming, is the one of the greatest threat humanity has ever
faced,
and that our runaway world population growth will make solving this
problem almost impossible.
Here are some links to a couple of articles he's written and published in
newspapers and online magazines in recent years:
