Richard T. Douse  (Tammy's husband - Ann's servant)                    updated June 26, 2011


Skinhead for peaceThe Beach . . . revisited
   


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:

The Third Rail - our runaway population problem

        Vanishing Open Spaces


And here's a link to some American history I'll bet you didn't learn in school:

 On a Tuesday afternoon in February 1932, my father's best friend and flying buddy, Robert Short, became 
the first American killed
in aerial combat with the Japanese.  
He was a real American hero in every sense of the word.
 
He should be remembered.
